This repository contains the code used for Matt’s Christmas tree, as featured in “I wired my tree with 500 LED lights and calculated their 3D coordinates”.

xmaslights-spin.py is the original source code from the video. Code in the examples folder has been provided by other contributors!

Usage

This is a Python project which depends on board for representing an n-dimensional board, and neopixel for communicating with the LEDs.

With these packages installed, run xmaslights-spin.py.

You’re welcome to contribute! There are a few different places that your PR could target:

Small bug fixes, as well as small changes that significantly increase usability, will be accepted directly in to the original code.
The examples folder has been created as a place for any effects contained within a single Python file. Files should be named based on the effect – fire.py for example.
If you’ve done a bigger bit of work, consider keeping this in your own repository, and opening a PR to update the Further Work section below.
