led-shim-demo

Display a variety of effects on the Raspberry Pi led-shim from Pimoroni.

The effects are based on the examples given in the base library plus some additions from my fork.

• Candle - A flickering candle.
• Gradient Graph - A moving colour gradient determined by the height of a sine wave.
• Solid Colours - A basic effect which just shows a sequence of solid colours.
• Binary Clock - Shows hours, minutes and seconds.
• Rainbow - A slowly moving rainbow effect.
• CheerLights - Synchronize with the CheerLights "Internet of Things" project.
• Random Blink - Some random blinking.
