LED Layouts

Some examples are written for a specific LED layout or art project, some examples are general-purpose. For examples that use a specific LED layout, we indicate this with a naming convention. For example, if a project "potato" were written for a 48x24 grid, it would be named "grid48x24_potato".

Layout names we use so far:

• grid8x8 - A simple left-to-right top-to-bottom 8x8 pixel grid
  • For example, the AdaFruit NeoMatrix
• grid24x8z - Three 8x8 zig-zag grids side by side
  • Channel 0 is the center, and may be used alone.
  • For example, three of the 8x8 grids from RGB-123

More Examples

There are other places to look for example code too!

• The Open Pixel Control project
  • Everything here will work with Fadecandy, including their Python examples
• The Ardent Mobile Cloud Platform source code
  • The AMCP is the first art project to use Fadecandy.
  • It controls 2500 LEDs with five Fadecandy boards and a Raspberry Pi.
  • The software is written in Python, with a C extension to accelerate the LED effects.
  • It's controlled over Wi-fi, by a TouchOSC remote control.
