My 500 LED xmas tree

xmastree2020

This repository contains the code used for Matt's Christmas tree, as featured in "I wired my tree with 500 LED lights and calculated their 3D coordinates".

xmaslights-spin.py is the original source code from the video. Code in the examples folder has been provided by other contributors!

Usage

This is a Python project which depends on board for representing an n-dimensional board, and neopixel for communicating with the LEDs.

With these packages installed, run xmaslights-spin.py.

Contributing

You're welcome to contribute! There are a few different places that your PR could target:

• Small bug fixes, as well as small changes that significantly increase usability, will be accepted directly in to the original code.

• The examples folder has been created as a place for any effects contained within a single Python file. Files should be named based on the effect - fire.py for example.

• If you've done a bigger bit of work, consider keeping this in your own repository, and opening a PR to update the Further Work section below.
