Blink(1) python library (wrapper of the C library). Supported and tested on 32-bits Python 2.7, 3.3 and 3.4.
- Make the blink1 library (see blink1/commandline)
- Rename the blink1 library to
libblink1.so.0.0(or something that will resolve as blink1) and add it to your path (ie ldconfig)
Example :
from blink1py import Blink1
import time
b = Blink1() # open device
print b # show some informations (vendor id, product id, firmware version and serial number)
b.set_rgb(255, 0, 0) # set to red
b.on() # set to white
time.sleep(1) # wait for 1 second
b.off() # turn the led off
b.close()In a more effective way :
b.on(duration=1)
b.set_rgb(0, 0, 255, duration=2) # set to blue for 2 secondsExample using the with statement :
from blink1py import Blink1
with Blink1() as b:
b.on()
b.set_rgb(255, 0, 255, duration=1)Pause :
b.pause(0.5) # pause of 0.5 second, alias of b.off()Using hexadecimal color values :
from blink1py import Blink1, hex2rgb
with Blink1() as b:
b.set_rgb(*hex2rgb('#ff0000'), duration=2)Two different colors at the leds :
b.set_rgbn(led1=(255, 0, 0), led2=(0, 0, 255), duration=2)Create pattern :
b.set_rgbn(led1=(255, 0, 0), led2=(0, 0, 255), duration=0.5, swap=10) # police car !Fadding colors :
b.fade_rgb(255, 0, 125, t=1) # 1 second fadding color
b.fade_rgb(255, 0, 0, t=0.5, n=2) # ... with red at the 2nd led
b.fade_rgb(0, 0, 255, t=0.2, duration=3) # ... blue for 3 secondsRandom colors :
b.random() # five random colors
b.random(n=10, duration=0.2) # ten random colors of 0.2 secondsRainbow colors :
b.rainbow()Get the vendor, product id, firmware version and serial number of the device :
b.vid # vendor id
b.pid # product id
b.version # firmware version
b.serialnum # serial numberA testing code was made to test Blink(1) device with this library. Use it when a Blink(1) device is plug on your computer. :
