## Interstate75 Class
|
|
|
|
The `Interstate75` class deals with RGB LED and buttons on the Interstate75 and 75W. To create one, import the `interstate75` module, then define a new `board` variable.
|
|
|
|
This is where you define the HUB75 matrix display size that you wish to use by defining `display=`
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
DISPLAY_INTERSTATE75_32X32
|
|
DISPLAY_INTERSTATE75_64X32
|
|
DISPLAY_INTERSTATE75_96X32
|
|
DISPLAY_INTERSTATE75_128X32
|
|
DISPLAY_INTERSTATE75_64X64
|
|
DISPLAY_INTERSTATE75_128X64
|
|
DISPLAY_INTERSTATE75_192X64
|
|
DISPLAY_INTERSTATE75_256X64
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
import interstate75
|
|
|
|
display = interstate75.DISPLAY_INTERSTATE75_32X32
|
|
|
|
board = interstate75.Interstate75(display=display)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
From here, all features can be accessed by calling functions on `board`. In addition, when using Qwiic / Stemma QT devices, the I2C channel to use can be accessed with `board.i2c`.
|
|
|
|
### Switches
|
|
|
|
Interstate75 and 75W have two switches in the front of the board. To read one of the switches, call `.switch_pressed(switch)`, where `switch` is a value from `0` to `.NUM_SWITCHES - 1`. This returns `True` when the specified switch is pressed, and `False` otherwise.
|
|
|
|
To read a specific input, the `interstate75` module contains these handy constants:
|
|
|
|
* `SWITCH_A` = `0`
|
|
* `SWITCH_B` = `1`
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
if board.switch_pressed(SWITCH_A):
|
|
# Do something interesting here!
|
|
|
|
if board.switch_pressed(SWITCH_B):
|
|
# Do something else even more interesting here!
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### RGB LED
|
|
|
|
The Interstate has an RGB LED. This is accessed via the following method.
|
|
|
|
|
|
`.set_led(r, g, b)`
|
|
|
|
Where r, g, b are values between 0 and 255
|
|
|
|
|
|
example:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
board.set_led(255, 0, 0) # Makes the LED Red
|
|
board.set_led(0, 255, 0) # Makes the LED Blue
|
|
board.set_led(0, 0, 255) # Makes the LED Green
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Display
|
|
|
|
The display is all handled by our custom picographics drivers they can be accessed via `.display`.
|
|
|
|
example:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
display = board.display
|
|
display.text("Hello World!", 0, 0)
|
|
display.line(0, 0, 128, 64)
|
|
board.update() # Update display with the above items
|
|
```
|
