# LEGO® Spike Hub and the Light Matrix
A Python snippet utilizing the LEGO Spike light matrix, [MicroPython](https://lego.github.io/MINDSTORMS-Robot-Inventor-hub-API/), and a variety of commands: `set_pixel()`, `show()`, `show_image()`, and `play_animation()`.
```py
from mindstorms import MSHub
from mindstorms.control import wait_for_seconds
import math
hub = MSHub()
hub.light_matrix.set_pixel(0, 0, 100)
wait_for_seconds(1)
pixels = '99999:96669:96669:96669:99999'
hub.light_matrix.show(pixels)
wait_for_seconds(1)
hub.light_matrix.show_image('HAPPY')
wait_for_seconds(1)
hub.light_matrix.show_image('ASLEEP')
wait_for_seconds(1)
anim_countdown = [
'09990:09000:09990:00090:09990',
'09090:09090:09990:00090:00090',
'09990:00090:09990:00090:09990',
'09990:00090:09990:09000:09990',
'00900:09900:00900:00900:09990',
'99999:99999:99999:99999:99999'
]
hub.light_matrix.play_animation(anim_countdown, 1, 'slide right', True)
hub.light_matrix.off()
print("Program complete")
```
