# Cheerlights using Python and Pimoroni's Mood light and a Raspberry PI

This is my take using Python and Pimoroni's Mood light kit with a Raspberry PI Zero W

The main difference is there's transitions from one colour to another
instead of just put the new color there

## Installing
### Required libraries
#### Requests
sudo apt-get install requests


If using the Pimoroni's Unicorn PHAT HD, the libraries are needed. You can check their github page for instructions:
https://github.com/pimoroni/unicorn-hat

## Running

If using Piromoroni's kit, sudo is necessary:

sudo python cheerlights.py

## About
Cheerlights is a colaborative IoT project. Everytime someone changes the color, every device around the world
(and outside too) connected to Cheerlights API will display the same color.

## Run automatically on Raspberry PI start

Just added to cron

sudo crontab -e
@reboot /usr/bin/python /home/pi/cheerlights/cheerlights.py &
