# APA102 Library

[](https://travis-ci.com/pimoroni/apa102-python) [](https://coveralls.io/github/pimoroni/apa102-python?branch=master) [](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/apa102) [](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/apa102)

# Pre-requisites

You must enable SPI:

• spi: sudo raspi-config nonint do_spi 0

You can optionally run sudo raspi-config or the graphical Raspberry Pi Configuration UI to enable interfaces.

# Installing

Stable library from PyPi:

• Just run python3 -m pip install apa102

Latest/development library from GitHub:

• git clone https://github.com/pimoroni/apa102-python

• cd apa102-python

• sudo ./install.sh

# Usage

The APA102 class will attempt to use spidev or RPi.GPIO depending on which pins you specify.

For example; three RGB LEDs connected to SPI pins 10 and 11 with chip-select 8 (CE0):

`python from apa102 import APA102 lights = APA102(3, 10, 11, 8) `

You can then set individual pixels with set_pixel:

` lights.set_pixel(0, 255, 0, 0) # Pixel 1 to Red lights.set_pixel(1, 0, 255, 0) # Pixel 2 to Green lights.set_pixel(2, 0, 0, 255) # Pixel 3 to Blue `

Pixels are zero-indexed and accept Red, Green and Blue colour values from 0 to 255.
