A Rust library for the Raspberry Pi Sense HAT LED Screen

The Raspberry Pi Sense HAT has an 8×8 RGB LED matrix that provides its own driver for the Linux framebuffer.

This library provides a thread-safe implementation for using the LED matrix by writing directly to the framebuffer.

Usage

To use this crate with the default features, add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
sensehat-screen = "0.1"

or, to manually specify the features::

[dependencies]
sensehat-screen = { version = "0.1", default-features = false, features = ["fonts"] }

Then you can use it with your crate:

extern crate sensehat-screen

use sensehat_screen::{FontCollection, FrameLine, PixelColor, Screen};

Examples

• Blinking RGB shapes
• A letter from ゆにち (Yunichi) to Toño

Features

default

By default, the linux-framebuffer, fonts, and serde-support features are included.

linux-framebuffer

Use the Linux framebuffer to write to the LED matrix.

fonts

A collection of legacy 8x8 fonts, renderable on the LED matrix.

serde-support

Enables support for serialization/deserialization with serde.
