Upgrading from Adafruit's Tutorial about rpi-rgb-led-matrix

[hzeller]

(Someone should tell the Adafruit people that the current code is much more ... current :) )

You could just implement a Canvas that does something like 32-y or something (don't know which side is flipped for you). But should be a matter of a couple of lines of codes and things just work.

agreed. If I didn't already mount it to a piece of wood, and heatshrink everything this would be easier.

Thanks for your input. I'm just going to build another one (I could fork your code and make my changes, but then I'm in the same boat as Adafruit, with an aging fork). I want to get it so others can follow, because i"m running a website on top of your code.

wish me luck!

The current version, you can use as library, so you don't need to fork my code. Have a look at the point where it mentions sub-modules (and look at the pixelpusher repository)
Good luck :)

If I were to implement a flag to flip the screen upside down and send it back as a pull-request, would you be open to accepting it? This way some of us can keep our hardware mounts/cutouts the same?

specifically this flag would be on demo

[hzeller]

I think if you build a generic Canvas that maps the coordinates to be upside down and then expose that as a flag - if set, then the canvas used for the demos is is wrapped in your coordinate-flipping canvas. I would accept such a pull request.

Closing this issue, as the original thing has been resolved.
