Executive Summary
This project will be using LEDs to create a wearable helmet similar to those used by the group Daft Punk. We will be using Adafruit's neopixel to accomplish this.

We are currently in the design phase of the project. We will update the page as the project develops.

Packaging
To be described later.

Installation Instructions

 * 1) Plug in Beaglebone into host computer via USB.
 * 2) Wire the first LED on the string. Use the P_22 I/O on the Beagle for the data.
 * 3) Follow User Instructions to run the code.

User Instructions
The use of this project requires the USB connection to a host computer and two terminals. From the first, navigate to the LEDscape directory (cloned from https://github.com/Yona-Appletree/LEDscape.git) and run the following commands to setup the server:


 * echo BB-BONE-PRU-01 >/sys/devices/bone_capemgr.9/slots
 * make
 * sudo systemctl enable /path/to/LEDscape/ledscape.service
 * sudo ./run-ledscape

Then in the other terminal, navigate to the openpixelcontrol directory (cloned from https://github.com/zestyping/openpixelcontrol.git) and run the following line:


 * python_clients/.py

where  is the name of the file the pattern is stored in.
