LEDarcade64

A collection of classes and functions for animated text and graphics on an Adafruit LED Matrix.

This version is a fork of the original LEDarcade from DATAGOD, but it adds new functionalities and adapt it for a 64x64 RGB LED Matrix. In my particular case I'm using two chained 64x64 panels to reach a 128x64 total Matrix.

What it can do

LEDArcade has many classes, functions, pre-defined sprites that are used to do the following:

• draw a sprite
• move a sprite
• make a sprite float across the screen
• raw animated sprites floating across the screen
• draw text of multiple sizes
• scroll text left or right at various speeds
• multiple ways to clear the screen (zooming in / zooming out / fading)
• scroll the screen around a large map, displaying only a section of the map in a window

Requirements

Raspberry Pi 3 and up
Adafruit LED Matrix (64x32)
Adafruit RGB Hat
hzeller's RBG LED Matrix code: https://github.com/hzeller/rpi-rgb-led-matrix

Usage

Modify the test.py script to contain the messages you want to display. Then execute by issuing the comand:

sudo python3 test.py

Retro Arcade Games

There are 5 old school arcade games you can play on your LED Matrix:

sudo python3 DotInvaders.py
sudo python3 Defender.py
sudo python3 Outbreak.py
sudo python3 SpaceDot.py
sudo python3 Tron.py

Rotating Arcade Games

Run the following to put your clock into a mode that will cycle through all the available games.

sudo python3 arcade.py

Flight LED panel

My favorite: Displays the closest aircraft to specified coordinates and shows all of its data and info using FlightRadar24 API. Edit FlightConfig.ini to set some necessary parameters.

KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS:
'U' - Update Flights list
'N' - Show Next Flight in the list

sudo python3 flight.py
