-- RPI LED Matrix driving -- the new neon

Works are started with running the player.py

player.py takes 3 arguments:

1. device name
2. local path to where files are (can ./ if run from inside RPI)
3. the configuration to load in the form [config directory]/[config file name]

e.g. python3 player.py -path . -mname studio -cfg prod/p4-4x7-slope-quilt..cfg&

--> Config files specify which work to play.
--> "Works" are located in the /pieces/ directory with some classes in the /modules/ directory

There is also a working TKinter demo app used to launch various works in progress python3 cntrlscripts/demo.py&

Set up the environment:

On a Mac Python3 with Tkinter, python3-pil, numpy, noise
