https://diode.zone/videos/watch/c0428a9c-42ff-426b-88bf-7b42150465ef Inspired to improve my own Larson Style scanners by @zleap and maybe learn a little micropython. This is a M5Atom Matrix, with 25 neopixels, only using the first 5 for this. My code is rough at best, I'm not a python person, and made it work with what little I do know. Code below. from time import sleep import machine, neopixel NUMBER_PIXELS = 25 STATE_MACHINE = 0 LED_PIN = 27 strip = neopixel.NeoPixel(machine.Pin(LED_PIN), NUMBER_PIXELS) #(NUMBER_PIXELS, STATE_MACHINE, LED_PIN, "GRB") Color RGB valuesred = (255, 0, 0) red_med = (32, 0, 0) red_light = (8, 0, 0) off = (0,0,0) delay = .06 for i in range(0, 5): strip[i] = (red_light) strip.write() sleep(.1) for i in range(0, 5): strip[i] = (red_med) strip.write() sleep(.1) for i in range(0, 5): strip[i] = (red) strip.write() sleep(.1) for i in range(0, 5): strip[i] = (red_med) strip.write() sleep(.1) for i in range(0, 5): strip[i] = (red_light) strip.write() sleep(.1) while True: strip[0] = (red) strip[1] = (red_med) strip[2] = (red_light) strip[3] = (off) strip[4] = (off) strip.write() sleep(delay) strip[0] = (red_med) strip[1] = (red) strip[2] = (red_med) strip[3] = (red_light) strip[4] = (off) strip.write() sleep(delay) strip[0] = (red_light) strip[1] = (red_med) strip[2] = (red) strip[3] = (red_med) strip[4] = (red_light) strip.write() sleep(delay) strip[0] = (off) strip[1] = (red_light) strip[2] = (red_med) strip[3] = (red) strip[4] = (red_med) strip.write() sleep(delay) strip[0] = (off) strip[1] = (off) strip[2] = (red_light) strip[3] = (red_med) strip[4] = (red) strip.write() sleep(delay) strip[4] = (red_med) strip[3] = (red) strip[2] = (red_med) strip[1] = (red_light) strip[0] = (off) strip.write() sleep(delay) strip[4] = (red_light) strip[3] = (red_med) strip[2] = (red) strip[1] = (red_med) strip[0] = (red_light) strip.write() sleep(delay) strip[4] = (off) strip[3] = (red_light) strip[2] = (red_med) strip[1] = (red) strip[0] = (red_med) strip.write() sleep(delay) strip[4] = (off) strip[3] = (off) strip[2] = (red_light) strip[1] = (red_med) strip[0] = (red) strip.write() sleep(delay) Tue, 20 Oct 2026 18:53:39 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://diode.zone https://diode.zone/lazy-static/avatars/61b689b7-84d5-43c7-9fa8-e63a7fd1d952.png https://diode.zone/videos/watch/c0428a9c-42ff-426b-88bf-7b42150465ef All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://diode.zone/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
