Bibliopixel and AdaFruit RGBMatrix Hat

Old Google Group Archive
#1

I am using Ada Fruits RGBMatrix Hat with 4 32x32 Hub75 Panels. Gathering from many Google Searches Bibliopixel has drivers for this Hat to work with it but the documentation doesn’t list it anywhere. Is this still possible? Do I need to use Ada Fruits older code instead of the new code listing? Ada Fruit now is telling everyone to use hzeller’s (https://github.com/hzeller/rpi-rgb-led-matrix)

I have hzeller’s code working fine in python and have it doing basic things but I was impressed with the ease of making animations with Bibliopixel that I want to use it if possible. Any help would be great thanks. Also I have Bibliopixel working fine as well or at least I assume I do as it doesn’t crash but since I don’t have X11 install on the raspberry pi I can’t tell if the SimPixel is actually running.

Basically you have to use this driver -> https://github.com/adafruit/rpi-rgb-led-matrix/blob/master/ada-matrix.py

With BiblioPixel v2. The latest v3 won’t work as we never updated that driver to work with it. Sorry about that… as it wasn’t part of the main BiblioPixel repo, I honestly forgot about it.
