rpi-matrix-artnet

Controlling of 32x32 or 16x32 RGB LED displays using Raspberry Pi rpi-rgb-led-matrix with Art-Net and sACN E1.31

Art-Net is a protocol for controlling lights over a network. Glediator / Jinx controls LEDs on one or more Art-Net nodes. An Art-Net node drives the LEDs. In this example, Glediator / Jinx runs on a laptop and controls a Pi with a rpi-rgb-led-matrix RGB LED displays using Raspberry Pi. The Pi is the Art-Net node. A RGB LED displays 32x32 / 32x16 / 64x64 is an add-on board connected for a Raspberry Pi+/3

Controlling up to 64x64 and more RGB LED Matrix Display with sACN E1.31 Protocol have a look https://github.com/darknessii/rpi-matrix-acn-e1-31

Preliminary

RGB LED displays rpi-rgb-led-matrix Program for Raspberry Pi must be installed and working on the Pi supplied Python software. Make sure this works before graduating to Art-Net.

Install libraries on the Pi

Do this only once to install the Python twisted libraries.

sudo apt-get install python-twisted

Run Art-Net server rpi-matrix-artnet on the Pi

The following command runs the Art-Net server turning the Pi into an Art-Net node. Many programs can send LED values to an Art-Net node. Glediator and Jinx is such a program.

sudo python rpi-matrix-artnet.py

NOT working

• Art-Net (Net Support)
• no Multicast Support

TO DO

• Buffer optimieren

Jinx!

Jinx! – LED Matrix Control

Jinx!, is a free available software for controlling LED matrices.
