The project is abandoned and not being updated due to the loss of my interest in MicroPython, as well as bad code in the project.

MerbuzPixel

MerbuzPixel is an improved version of the neopixel library. A 16x16 matrix was tested on a Wemos Mini d1 r1 microcontroller.

How it use?

Just download the library file and import it into your board!

Using library

Just import all from this library

from merbuzpixel import *

Or import only what you need

from merbuzpixel import MerbuzPixel

Class initialization

merbuz = MerbuzPixel(pin=4, width=16, height=16)

Create instance of class.

• pin pin connection to the matrix
• width width of matrix
• height height of matrix

Functions

Control brightness of matrix

merbuz.setBrightness(brightness=3) 

• brightness brightness parameter 0-255

Fill pixel in matrix

merbuz.setPixel(index=0, rgb=(255, 255, 255))

• index index of led in matrix
• rgb tuple with RGB code

Clear all matrix. Does not require arguments

merbuz.clearMatrix() 

Fill pixels in current range

merbuz.fillPixels(firstIndex=6, secondIndex=70, rgb=(255, 255, 255))

• firstIndex first index in range
• secondIndex last index in range
• rgb tuple with RGB code

Fill background in matrix

merbuz.fillBackground(rgb=(255, 255, 255))

• rgb tuple with RGB code

Clear pixel of selected index

merbuz.clearPixel(index=0)

• index index of pixel

Draw any image to matrix! Any size

merbuz.drawImage(file_name='place_your_file_name')

• file_name a file with an encoded image with the .merbuzpixel extension. You can get this file if you use the MerbuzPixelImage library.

Colors

10 colors to choose from. You can use them instead of tuple RGB code:

• RED
• GREEN
• BLUE
• ORANGE
• YELLOW
• LIGHTBLUE
• WHITE
• VIOLET
• PURPLE
• PINK

MerbuzPixel.RED

MerbuzPixel.GREEN

MerbuzPixel.BLUE

MerbuzPixel.ORANGE

MerbuzPixel.YELLOW

MerbuzPixel.LIGHTBLUE

MerbuzPixel.WHITE

MerbuzPixel.VIOLET

MerbuzPixel.PURPLE

MerbuzPixel.PINK

Example of using color

merbuz.fillBackground(rgb=MerbuzPixel.PINK)

Code example

Example of using the library

from merbuzpixel import *

merbuz = MerbuzPixel(pin=4, width=16, height=16) # Create class. first - pin of matrix, second - width of matrix, third - height

merbuz.setBrightness(3) # Set brightness 0-255

merbuz.setPixel(index=0, rgb=(255, 255, 255)) # Set pixel, first - index, second - tuple of RGB

merbuz.clearMatrix() # Just clear matrix. All

merbuz.fillPixels(firstIndex=6, secondIndex=70, rgb=(255, 255, 255)) # Fill by index led. First - index of first led, second - index of second led, third - tuple of RGB

merbuz.fillBackground(rgb=MerbuzPixel.PINK) # Fill all matrix. Use rgb as a argument

merbuz.clearPixel(index=0) # Pixel index to clear

merbuz.drawImage(file_name='place_your_file') # Drawing method
