# uStatusBoard
The uStatusBoard is a board designed to be used as simple notifier with 4 leds WS2812B (aka NeoPixels) to show the status
by changing the color of the led on the board.
You can use a marker to write down the condition/status of anything you're monitoring.
**Top view of the board (latest version)**
**Bottom view of the board (latest version)**
In order to use the board we will need a Wemos D1 mini (image below) which the board is soldered onto it.

**Note:** There is no need to use specifically the Wemos D1 mini board, another board can used with this uStatusBoard.

## Usage examples
To use the code (written in [MicroPython](https://micropython.org/)) we will just upload the module `status_board.py` and in the REPL we can start playing with it.
```console
>>> from status_board import StatusBoard
>>> board = StatusBoard()
>>> board.pin
Pin(15)
>>> board.brightness
255
```
Take into account that we are instantiated the object with the default attributes as seen in the REPL output above.
So now let's play a bit with it.
```console
>>> board.color_all('blue')
>>> board.color_all('red')
>>> board.color_all('green')
>>> board.color_all('white')
>>> board.color_all('nocolor')
```
This colors are defined on the `StatusBoard.colors` attribute which can be accessed any time
```console
>>> board.colors
{'cyan': [0, 1, 1], 'nocolor': [0, 0, 0], 'magenta': [1, 0, 1], 'blue': [0, 0, 1], 'yellow': [1, 1, 0], 'white': [1, 1, 1], 'green': [0, 1, 0], 'red': [1, 0, 0]}
```
Now let's turn off all the leds
```console
>>> board.clear_all()
```
If you want to know more about what methods the `StatusBoard` has head over to the [status_board.py](./status_board.py) script.
#### If you want **more examples** head over the [examples folder](./examples/).
