Driver for AdaFruit 8x8 LED Matrix (+ Game of Life)

Post by Architekt » Wed Nov 12, 2014 11:30 am

Hi, I made driver for AdaFruit 8x8 LED Matrix displays with HT16K33 backpack connected to I2C.

Driver is here: https://github.com/JanBednarik/micropython-matrix8x8

In examples if implementation of Conway's Game of Life (maybe first ever on MicroPython :-) ) which looks pretty cool on 8x8 LED display. Take a look here: http://youtu.be/XZgU1wqZMic

Well, maybe not quite the first: https://github.com/micropython/micropyt ... waylife.py but quite possibly the prettiest demonstration so far. Very cool! I'm going to have to get a few of those neopixel boards.
