Introduction¶
Brightly is a library based Adafruit’s CircuitPython Python implementation with functions to generate simple LED patterns and animations. It is designed to work with the Brightly Code Generator to create an easy to use drag-and-drop coding interface for Neopixels on CircuitPython capable boards.
Dependencies¶
This library depends on:
The current brightly.mpy library is compatible with CircuitPython 4
Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem. This is easily achieved by downloading the Adafruit library and driver bundle
Usage Example¶
See examples/main.py
