DiscordMatrix

Displays your Discord connection status on a MAX7219 LED Matrix, connected via Arduino.

Demo

Running the source code

To install the dependencies, run pip install -r requirements.txt.

This program runs at 125000 baud, instead of PyFirmata’s default 57600 bits/s. When uploading the FirmataStandard sketch
to your Arduino, change line 774 to Firmata.begin(125000);.

To start the application, simply run python discord_matrix.pyw from the command line.

The default pinout is:

• dataIn = 2
• load = 4
• clock = 3

These values can be changed in your config.ini which appears after running the code once.
