Control WS2801 RGB LED strip
« on: October 09, 2020, 01:16:04 PM »
Dear all,

I'd like to control WS2801 RGB LED strips with my TCL system (Raspberry Pi).

I know there exits Open Lighting Architecture with Python bindings, but I would like to keep it pretty low level for learning purposes.
Is there any general advise how to preceed to control the LED strip via the SPI bus?

Specifically I will need to install https://github.com/jgarff/rpi_ws281x - Is scons available as an tce extension?

Best wishes,
Stephan

Hi, stephanmg.

Which RPI board and piCore version are you using ?

If you need scons, you can use pip or pip3 to install locally.
(Remember to backup)
Code: [Select]
pip3 install --user scons
filetool.sh -b
