rgb-matrix-info-display

This project sets up an info display using a LED Matrix Display from Sparkfun, AdaFruit or eBay and Aliexpress. By using the awesome rpi-rgb-led-matrix library from hzeller it currently displays the current date and time, outside temperature (needs to be replaced by custom datasource) and currently playing title and artist of my multiroom audio system (needs also be replaced by custom datasource).

Setup

• Compile and install the rpi-rgb-led-matrix library according to the readme.

• Install dependencies:

  pip install paho-mqtt 
  pip install requests

Run the program

python3 -u main.py

ArtNet

If you want to use the ArtNet function first activate it in the config.yaml and choose the dmx universe

[ArtNet]
enabled = true
universe = 0

The ArtNet.addLight(addr, x, y, w, h) function will create a 3-Channel RGB Fixture with the desiered dmx-addres, position and pixel size.
