This example takes the getting started - lesson 5 script and adds a new dimension to the colour changing, brightness. The new script pulses the LedBorg brightness between hue changes, giving a more complex colour sequence which shows how flexible LedBorg can be. You can download the code directly to your Raspberry Pi using: cd ~/ledborg wget -O LedPulse.py

This is an updated version of the old BakedPi script which uses the new driver free LedBorg code. As a side benefit the extended colour range allows us to see what the temperature is like more clearly over larger ranges. The colour displayed starts at minimum temperature...

The colour of the LedBorg changes as you change the selection on the dialog, as a bonus most of the GUI code is done for us in this example ^_^ You can download the code directly to your Raspberry Pi using: cd ~/ledborg...

For those who do not know, CheerLights allows any light or LED connected to the system to display synchronised colours. Current CheerLights colour: The current colour may be set by tweeting to @cheerlights or using the #cheerlights...
