Picroft Respeaker 2 HAT LED Effects

Python files to make LED effects on Respeaker 2 HAT from SeedStudio. Forked from here

Dependencies

$ mycroft-pip install spidev
$ mycroft-pip install mycroft-messagebus-client

Run as a service.

Find out the path to python bin folder inside the virtual env., use command echo $VIRTUAL_ENV, in my case it is /home/pi/mycroft-core/.venv/

Create a file pixels.service inside /etc/systemd/system/

$ sudo touch /etc/systemd/system/pixels.service
$ sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/pixels.service

and paste the following contents, make sure to change the Working Directory and path.
