MMM-Stripes

MagicMirror module to control a led strip attached to a Raspberry Pi.

Requirements

Currently this module is only able to control 'ws281x' stripes. Neopixels or any other WS2812 stripe should work fine. I will try to add support for other chips as soon as the basic functions are ready.

Module installation

Cloning the module and installing the dependencies

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
git clone https://github.com/paviro/MMM-Stripes.git
sudo apt-get install scons
cd MMM-Stripes
npm install

Add the module to MM

Open the file ~/MagicMirror/config/config.js and add the following to your modules section:

modules: [
    {
        module: 'MMM-Stripes',
        config: {
            ledCount: 60,
            type: 'ws281x',
            gpio: 18
        }
    }
]

Module Configuration Options

Option	Type	Default	Description
`ledCount`	Integer	`60`	Number of LEDs on your strip.
`gpio`	String	`18`	The GPIO-Pin your strip is connected to. Must support PMW!
`animationSpeed`	Integer	`20`	Animation speed.
`animationCycles`	Integer	`2`	Animation duration.
`flashOnAlert`	boolean	`true`	Trigger a pulse animation when a notification is shown.
`flashColor`	text	`red`	Color of the flash (blue, rgb(25,200,200), #F04B23).
`flashCycles`	Integer	`2`	Animation duration.

Trigger from another module

Currently supports messages send for MMM-PiLights and notifications shown in the default alert module. More will be added.

mmm-stripes's Issues

not really an error rather a question

how does that have to be connected?

somehow the program tells me with curl that he starts rainbow for example

but it does not happen I've connected with gnd af rpi and din with gpio 18

and electricity, of course, in a power supply but it does not work :(

How does it work?

I cloned the repository, connected the neopixel to gpio18, added the module to config.js. Next what? how to make the leds light up. The curl command and the http command executes but the led's dont light up.
What needs to be done to make it work with PIR-motion sensor. Please guide.
Thanks
