Start by importing the necessary libraries: from machine import Pin Otherwise, you can skip to the “Demonstration” section.

# The colours are a transition r - g - b - back to r.Ĭontinue reading this section if you want to learn how the code works. # Input a value 0 to 255 to get a color value. # Complete project details at īutton1.irq(trigger=Pin.IRQ_RISING, handler=button_handler)īutton2.irq(trigger=Pin.IRQ_RISING, handler=button_handler)īutton3.irq(trigger=Pin.IRQ_RISING, handler=button_handler)īutton4.irq(trigger=Pin.IRQ_RISING, handler=button_handler) Upload the following code to your ESP32 or ESP8266 as main.py. It will make different lighting effects depending on the pushbutton pressed. Here, we’ll build a simple circuit with 4 pushbuttons. WS2812B RGB LEDs with MicroPython: Project example To see how everything works together, in the next section we’ll build a simple project to control a bunch of addressable RGB LEDs. Knowing how these functions work, you can build your own projects to produce amazing lighting effects. The waiting time defines how fast the rainbow effect moves. This function accepts as argument the waiting time. The colours are a transition r - g - b - back to r.Īfter that, use the rainbow_cycle() function that uses the results from the wheel() function to distribute the rainbow across the number of LEDs on your strip. Input a value 0 to 255 to get a color value. The wheel() function generates the rainbow color spectrum by varying each color parameter between 0 and 255. To produce a moving rainbow effect, you need two functions. There is a pixel on that runs through all the strip positions while the other pixels are off. The cycle effect works similarly to the bounce effect. This effect shows an off pixel that runs through all the strip positions.
The waiting time determines how fast the bouncing effect is. The bounce() function creates a bounce effect and accepts the r, g and b parameters to set the color, and the waiting time. In a similar way, to set all the pixels to the same color, you can use the following function that accepts as arguments, the r, g, and b color parameters.
Np.write() Set all pixels to the same color Clear all pixelsĬlearing all pixels is the same as setting all pixels to (0, 0, 0) color. We’ll provide some functions (based on the library examples) that you can use in your own projects.

Now that you know how to control individual pixels, you can make your own lighting effects. np.write() WS2812 RGB LEDs Lighting Effects Then, use the write() method for the changes to take effect. The following figure may help you better understand how it works: For example, to set the first pixel to red: np = (255, 0, 0) Then, we just need to set a color to a specific element. You can think of the strip as an array with nelements (number of pixels in this sample strip). Controlling an individual pixel is very easy. Np on the GPIO you’ve defined earlier and with the number of LEDs you’ve also defined: np = neopixel.NeoPixel(machine.Pin(p), n) Controlling individual pixelsĪfter initializing the neopixel object, you can start controlling the LEDs. Save the GPIO number that will control the strip on the p variable: p = 5 Set the number of pixels in your strip to the n variable: n = 48 Neopixel and machine modules: import machine, neopixel Create a neopixel object Np = neopixel.NeoPixel(machine.Pin(p), n) For example, the next script controls 4 individual pixels: # Complete project details at There’s a built-in MicroPython module called neopixel to control WS2812B addressable LEDs. You need to apply 5V to the VCC pin, GND to GND and connect a GPIO to the Din (data) pin. To wire the RGB LED strip to the ESP32 or ESP8266 is very simple. The following figure shows how our setup looks like after soldering the LEDs. Each PCB has IN and OUT pins that make wiring very simple: You can solder several LED rings and sticks and they will behave as one piece.
