Betsy LED Display

A Python package for interacting with the Betsy LED display.

test.py is new code I wrote to use PIL to generate some images. In particular:

• send_reset() -- Call this once when each panel boots up, as they boot up in bootloader mode and need to be switched to firmware mode
• send_sn_image() --This reads the inventory, generates a picture of the serial, and sends it to that address. This is the original intention of my hacking.

Some fun utilities that can write arbitary images:

img = Image.open("hl.png")
hl = tile_img(img, 18, crop=False) # False = scale.
#send_images(hl)

And send gifs ( in a loop! ) -- This is just above, but parsing the frames from a gif and calling the above send_images in a loop

while 1:
  handle_gif("./nyan.gif",0.025)
