Adafruit DotStar

Hey!

I have bought a bunch of APA102C led strips (what adafruit brands as dotstar) and I am looking to control it with processing running on a raspberry pi.

I have been looking into how to make this work (basically using my strips as a screen) and it seems to me the best would be to use the current adafruit which is written in C. Is there a way for me to use this with processing?

This is potentially a silly question but I am thankful for your help,

  • the DotStar Adafruit library has some python examples for the raspberry, that could be a start.

    You could have processing handle the Logic and color output and the pyhton to take in the color info and send the actual control data

  • Hey @oliviano, thank you for your reply. Do you have any suggestions on how to handle the communication between processing and the python scripts?
