At A Glance¶
Clear A Single Channel¶
-
motephat.clear_channel(c)[source] Clear a single channel
Parameters: c – Channel to clear: 0 to 3
Set A Pixel¶
-
motephat.set_pixel(c, x, r, g, b, brightness=None)[source] Set the RGB value, and optionally brightness, of a single pixel
If you don’t supply a brightness value, the last value will be kept.
Parameters: - x – The horizontal position of the pixel: 0 to 7
- r – Amount of red: 0 to 255
- g – Amount of green: 0 to 255
- b – Amount of blue: 0 to 255
- brightness – Brightness: 0.0 to 1.0 (default around 0.2)
Set All Pixels¶
-
motephat.set_all(r, g, b, brightness=None)[source] Set the RGB value and optionally brightness of all pixels
If you don’t supply a brightness value, the last value set for each pixel be kept.
Parameters: - r – Amount of red: 0 to 255
- g – Amount of green: 0 to 255
- b – Amount of blue: 0 to 255
- brightness – Brightness: 0.0 to 1.0 (default around 0.2)
Set Brightness¶
-
motephat.set_brightness(brightness)[source] Set the brightness of all pixels
Parameters: brightness – Brightness: 0.0 to 1.0
Set Clear On Exit¶
-
motephat.set_clear_on_exit(value=True)[source] Set whether Mote pHAT should be cleared upon exit
By default Mote pHAT will turn off the pixels on exit, but calling:
blinkt.set_clear_on_exit(False)
Will ensure that it does not.
Parameters: value – True or False (default True)
Constants¶
NUM_PIXELS = 8
