Raspberry Pi and some LPD8806s

Old Google Group Archive
#1

Hi!

I’ve managed to create the driver to run a matrix of LPD8806s via python and looking through the library, but can’t figure out how to do with via the YAML files. Is it supported through the YAML? The documentation only shows setup of a serial device but I’m just using SPI.

Thanks in advance,
Joseph

We’re rolling out a new docs site shortly which should address much more.In the mean time, here’s an example

        "driver": {
"typename": "spi",
"ledtype": "LPD8806",
"num": 360,
"dev": "/dev/spidev0.0",
"interface": "PERIPHERY",
"spi_speed": 4,
"c_order": "BRG"
}

Note, you’ll need this installed -> https://pypi.org/project/python-periphery/

I assume this is on a Raspberry Pi?

Oops, you said yaml:

typename: spi

ledtype: LPD8806

num: 360

dev: “/dev/spidev0.0”

interface: PERIPHERY

spi_speed: 4

c_order: BRG

driver:
