This is the companion repo for running examples against the luma.emulator, luma.oled, luma.lcd and luma.led_matrix display drivers.
Assuming you are using a Raspberry Pi (running Debian Jessie or newer), follow the pre-requisites & instructions in the above repositories to wire up your display, then from a command-line:
$ sudo usermod -a -G i2c,spi,gpio pi $ sudo apt install python3-dev python3-pip python3-numpy libfreetype6-dev libjpeg-dev build-essential $ sudo apt install libsdl2-dev libsdl2-image-dev libsdl2-mixer-dev libsdl2-ttf-dev libportmidi-dev
Log out and in again and clone this repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/rm-hull/luma.examples.git $ cd luma.examples
Finally, install the luma libraries using:
$ sudo -H pip install -e .

Note
python3-dev(apt-get) andpsutil(pip/pip3) are required to run thesys_info.pyexample. See install instructions for the exact commands to use.- At runtime,
luma.coreenumerates which display drivers are present and dynamically constructs the list of--displayoptions, therefore (for example) thecapture/gifanim/pygameoptions will not show unless luma.emulator is installed
There are various display emulators available for running code against, for debugging and screen capture functionality:
- The luma.emulator.device.capture device will persist a numbered PNG file to
disk every time its
displaymethod is called. - The luma.emulator.device.gifanim device will record every image when its
displaymethod is called, and on program exit (or Ctrl-C), will assemble the images into an animated GIF. - The luma.emulator.device.pygame device uses the pygame library to render the displayed image to a pygame display surface.
After installing luma.emulator you can invoke the demos with:
$ python3 examples/clock.py --display pygame
or:
$ python3 examples/clock.py --display gifanim $ python3 examples/starfield.py --display capture
