Suggestions for improving the Raspberry Pi installation process #322

Closed VonHirsch closed 3 years ago

VonHirsch commented 3 years ago

Hello, you mentioned running strandtest.py. Here is the additional step needed to do that:

sudo pip3 install rpi_ws281x

and possibly this to get the examples:

git clone https://github.com/jgarff/rpi_ws281x.git

originally I put instructions on how to download and compile rpi_ws281x manually (as in here) but that didn't seem to be working on my pi4

Also:

The default pin used in strandtest is PWM0 which is physical pin #12, GPIO 18
