4 years ago Hi! Sorry this has been so quiet recently. This is mostly maintained if/when I actually check my personal email and have time to sort through the GitHub stuff. I tried to cover the basics so that it's feature complete for my purposes but I could totally see that people would want to expand on. If you're interested, I can make you a contributor as well to try to look after the incidental PR.
Some notes for direction of the project:
- The goal is to represent the features of the underlying driver in a reasonably idiomatic Rust format, nothing more nothing less.
- Ideally we want to be able to track upstream rpi-ws281x without too many changes release-to-release which is why there is heavy use of bindgen. There has been one other attempt to wrap rpi-ws281x in Rust, but all of the FFI was manual and it made it prohibitively difficult to update to newer versions of the driver.

Hey, I'm having a short question regarding the maintenance of the project .. there are a couple open pull requests and the project overall seem not to be active that much anymore. Is someone working on it? If not I would carefully volunteer to keep an eye on it because I'm currently working on a small IoT system, which implements some LED related functions with the help of this library and there are some things (espacially in the pull requests) that I would like to have.
