LED Matrix Programmer

Electron app and Micropython software for creating, uploading, and displaying animations on a MAX7219 8 by 8 dot matrix LED display driven by a Pi Pico W

Demo

How to use

The electron app's project directory is located in the p5app folder.

The Micropython code for the Pico W is in the pico folder.

To run:

Upload the Micropython code to the Pico using a tool like Thonny. If the proper config.py file is also present and contains the proper variables, the Pico should log its IP for use in the app.

To run the app:

cd p5app 
npm install
npm start

Tips:

• Make sure you change the SPI pins to match your wiring.

• To access the console for development, use the keybind ctrl-shift-i on the application to access the developer menu.

• pk-appbar/pk-appbar.css contains CSS variables for appbar colors. Try making a custom palette!
