fragaria/rpi-led-control repository overview

⁠rpi-led-control

Dockerized REST API for LED control on Raspberry Pi. Available on GitHub⁠.

To make this work, attach a strip of two (or more) APA102 LEDs to Raspberry Pi GPIO pins:

• GND - GND
• VCC - 5V
• DI (data) - rpi pin 14
• CI (clock) - rpi pin 15

And then run

docker pull fragaria/rpi-led-control && docker run -d --device /dev/gpiomem:/dev/gpiomem -p 5000:5000 -e NUM_LED=2 -e START_COLOR=16711680 fragaria/rpi-led-control

By sending the decimal color values via POST, you can control what colors the LEDs are. For color conversion, you can use this tool⁠.

The LED positions are addressed from the start of the cable. Values are decimal color representation (0-16777215).
