Adds BiblioPixel support for the NeoSegment: https://www.crowdsupply.com/maksmakes/neosegment

Installation: pip install BiblioPixelNeoSegment

Usage

Import the NeoSegment layout which is used like other BiblioPixel layouts.

from NeoSegment import NeoSegment

If creating an animation for NeoSegment you can use BaseNeoSegmentAnim:

from NeoSegment import BaseNeoSegmentAnim

class NeoSegAnimation(BaseNeoSegmentAnim):
    def __init__(self, layout):
        super().__init__(layout)

    def step(self, amt=1):
        # your animation code here

Two demo animations are included: from NeoSegment.demo_anims import RGBClock, ScrollText

These are used as examples in demo.py

NeoSegment class

__init__(...)

Constructor has all of the same options as the strip layout.

set(pixel, color)

For setting specific individual segments of each digit. Each digit has 7 segments which are arranged as such:

  5
4   6
  3
0   2
  1

pixel is the index of the segment you want to set and color is a standard BiblioPixel color tuple (r, g, b). You can of course use the bibliopixel.colors module.

For digits after the first the index of each segment is seg_index + (7 * digit_index)

set_char(c, color, off_color=colors.Off, index=0)

Sets a specific digit to the given character c. This is used by set_text.

• c: Single character to set to given digit. Alphanumeric and and ![]- are allowed.
• color: A single BiblioPixel color tuple or list of colors. If a list, 7 must be provided and each will be used for the same segment index. In this way each segment can be a different color.
• off_color: Color tuple to use for segments that are unset in the digit. Defaults to Off.
• index: Index of digit in chain to set. Indices are left to right on the NeoSegment chain.

set_text(text, color, off_color=colors.Off, index=0)

Writes a string to the display.

• text: String to write to display. Invalid characters will result in a blank digit.
• color: A single BiblioPixel color tuple or list of colors or list of lists of colors. If a list, each digit will be the color at the same index in the list. Provide a list of lists to specify the color of each individual segment of each digit.
• off_color: Same as set_text
• index: Index of digit to start string.
