BouncingLeds
A simple python script to make leds bouncing like crazy.
The script uses the Luma library and targets a 8x8(x4) led matrix based on the MAX7219 chip (but probably it will work also for other devices based on it).
Connect the device, install Luma as explained on the library instructions and you will be ready to execute it.
The image shows the default of 5 bouncing leds, Full video. Some other examples are:
One led with no gravity and no friction:
bouncingleds.py -p 1 --xaxis-gravity 0.0 --xaxis-friction 0.0 --yaxis-riction 0.0
Ten leds:
bouncingleds.py -p 10
The full option list is:
usage: bouncingleds.py [-h] [--xaxis-gravity XAXIS_GRAVITY]
[--yaxis-gravity YAXIS_GRAVITY]
[--xaxis-friction XAXIS_FRICTION]
[--yaxis-friction YAXIS_FRICTION]
[--particles PARTICLES] [--cascaded CASCADED]
[--block-orientation {0,90,-90}] [--rotate {0,1,2,3}]
[--reverse-order REVERSE_ORDER]
