# LoopLamp

## About
The light up the loop lamp is a collaborative project between many organizations. This repository contains the information needed to setup up the Software for your own lamp. For more info, contact [Hunter Owens](mailto://[email protected]).

## History
At one point, this repository was a Node based webapp that relied on a node package with bindings to the Raspberry Pi GPIO board. These bindings no longer work with the new version of the [lights](http://www.adafruit.com/product/306), so we have start using bit addressing and python (see `paint.py`).

## Setting up the lights
You may want to consult the [Adafruit Guide](https://learn.adafruit.com/digital-led-strip).

### Wiring

### Programming
The lights are bit-addressable. See `paint.py` for the conversion chart. You will need the [RPi](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/RPi.GPIO) library installed.

### Data
The data lives in `/data`. Due to the sensitive nature of it, it is not sharable on github.
