EasyBlink LED controller library

The project provides a simple way to control a strip of APA102 LEDs using a Raspberry Pi. It is built on top of the blinkt Rust library.

It is meant at least in part to provide some ideas and code examples for people interested in getting started writing lighting patterns, although it also works well as an easy-to-use way to have some colorful blinky lights in your life.

It would be awesome if you have an idea for a new pattern for the library or anything else that could improve this library - please make a pull request!

How to Use - Physical Setup

This code assumes you have a linear strip of APA102 LEDs and a raspberry pi.

Check the blinkt docs for some details abut raspberry pi pins etc., but here's the TL;DR:

• use raspi-config to enable SPI ports, under "Interface Options->SPI" (you should see an entry for /dev/spidev0.0 if successful)
• connect the APA102 clock pin to physical pin 23 ("GPIO 11") and data to physical pin 19 ("GPIO 10")
• there is a convenient ground at physical pin 20

Simple Code Example:

extern crate easyblink;

use easyblink::{EasyBlinkController, ColorwayPattern};

fn main() {
    let mut controller = EasyBlinkController::new(120);

    loop {
        controller.execute_colorway_pattern(ColorwayPattern::Fireplace, 40);
    }

}
