|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
A <a href="http://nodered.org" target="_new">Node-RED</a> node to output to a
|
|
Raspberry Pi Unicorn HAT from Pimorini.
|
|
|
|
Pre-requisites
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
The Unicorn HAT python drivers need to be pre-installed... see the
|
|
<a "href=http://learn.pimoroni.com/tutorial/unicorn-hat/getting-started-with-unicorn-hat">
|
|
Pimorini Getting Started with Unicorn HAT</a> page.
|
|
|
|
curl -sS get.pimoroni.com/unicornhat | bash
|
|
|
|
Install
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Run the following command in the root directory of your Node-RED install.
|
|
Usually this is `~/.node-red`
|
|
|
|
npm install node-red-node-pi-unicorn-hat
|
|
|
|
Usage
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
The background of the array can be configured using an 8x8 pixel sized
|
|
png image, or by specifying a single colour using an r,g,b triple.
|
|
|
|
The brightness can also be set in the configuration. Defaults to 20% so as not to blind you.
|
|
|
|
A pixel is set by **msg.payload** with a CSV string `x,y,r,g,b` , where x and y are 0 to 7, and r, g and b are 0 - 255.
|
|
If `x` or `y` are set to `*` then the complete row or column can be set.
|
|
Setting both `x` and `y` to `*` fills the background.
|
|
|
|
The background can also be set to a colour by setting **msg.payload** to an r,g,b triple.
|
|
|
|
Any msg with a **msg.topic** identifies a 'sprite' pixel, which can then be moved independently of the background.
|
|
|
|
Setting **msg.payload** to `0` will delete the sprite from the list.
|
|
|
|
Setting **msg.payload** to `DEL` delete any sprites - leaving the background.
|
|
|
|
Setting **msg.payload** to `CLS` will clear the display to off and delete any sprites.
|
|
|
|
The overall brightness may be set by setting **msg.payload** to `brightness,nn`, where `nn` is 0 to 100.
|
|
|
|
The rotation may be set by setting ••msg.payload•• to 'rotate,rr', where 'rr' is 0, 90, 180 or 270.</p>
