LEDscape/BeagleBone Black tutorial

What you need:

  • BeagleBone Black
  • WS2811 or NeoPixels LED system (I used this strip cut and re-soldered into a 5x5 grid)
  • LEDscape fork with OPC server installed and running as a service on BBB (See the README for installation/starting the service)

Steps:

  1. Wire up the strip

You can run node pinmap.js from the root of the LEDscape folder, and it'll print out an ASCII pin map.

With standard setup, hook up power to 3.3v (P9_3 or P9_4), GND to GND (P9_1 or P9_2), and data to P9_22.

(COMING SOON: PHOTO)

  1. ssh into your BeagleBone

  2. Make sure the service is running on the BBB

once ssh'ed in, systemctl is-active ledscape

  1. Clone this project OR npm install open-pixel-control and write your own script

  2. node /path/to/project/examples/rgb-runner.js
