This project is a fun experimentation. The initial goal was to move my mouse on my computer and light up an LED Strip connected to my Raspberry Pi.
- The Raspberry PI is the server
- The Computer is the client
More features will be coming soon, this project is for fun. There's no limit to how you want to play with the LEDs.
- Server receives client input and switches to a mode:
- The LEDS light up according to the the mouse cursor position on the Y-Axis. If your mouse is on the right most side of the screen, all LEDs are on. If it's on the left all leds are off. It's progressive transition
- Client sends data to the server
- Addressable RGB LED Strip, 5V. With either SK6812 or WS2812B-based LEDs
- Raspberry PI Model 3
The server is the only one to have external dependencies to be able to run.
- Server:
- Run the following your command line:
sudo pip3 install rpi_ws281x adafruit-circuitpython-neopixel
- Run the following your command line:
