{"title":"PiGlow","handle":"piglow-3","url":"/products/piglow-3","description":"\nThe PiGlow is a small add on board for the Raspberry Pi that provides 18 individually controllable LEDs. You can use it for all sorts of things! And of course, it fits inside a Pibow!\nWorks just fine with all models of Raspberry Pi including the B+!\nThere are tons of things you can do with it:\n\nMood lighting / ambience\nShowing current system load\nNotify you of events like mentions in tweets or incoming e-mail\nFeedback the status of scripts/daemons running on your Pi\nWorks great when VESA mounted to provide a cast against a wall\n...and pretty much anything else you can think of!\n\nPiGlow sample code and other instructions\nIf you just want some Python code to start tinkering with please check out our GitHub repository which also includes the full datasheet for the IC used on PiGlow.\n\nGordon Henderson has added a PiGlow driver for wiringPi which you can find here: http://wiringpi.com/dev-lib/piglow/\n\nSimon Walters has added PiGlow support for Scratch which is here: http://cymplecy.wordpress.com/\n\nJason Barnett has put together a great Python class and a load of samples: https://github.com/Boeeerb/PiGlow\n\nBen Lebherz has forked Jasons project and tidied up the code a bit while adding gamma correction: https://github.com/benleb/PyGlow\n\nManuel Ernst has created a Node.js library: https://github.com/zaphod1984/node-piglow\n\nFalldeaf has put together a nice XBMC hack to use the PiGlow as a status indicator: http://falldeaf.com/2013/11/the-xbmc-piglow-information-display-addon/\n\nJonathan Stowe has created a module for the Perl divers among you: https://metacpan.org/release/JSTOWE/Device-PiGlow-1.0\n\nToon Schoenmakers has gone as far as making a library for Golang: https://github.com/schoentoon/piglow\n \n\nMore detail\nThis board uses the SN3218 8-bit 18-channel PWM chip to drive 18 surface mount LEDs. Communication is done via I2C over the GPIO header with a bus address of 0x54 (Python example code provided). Each LED can be set to a PWM value of between 0 and 255.\n\n18 LEDs (three each of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and white)\nGreat to provide feedback if you're running your Pi headless\nPWM (dimming) control for each channel\nFully assembled (no soldering required)\nPython code to access and control lighting provided\n","vendor":"Little Bird","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":14508,"title":"Default Title","sku":"PR-PIM013","price":21.69,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":1,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
