Introduction

Documentation Status Discord Build Status Code Style: Black

This library will allow you to control the LEDs and read button presses on the Adafruit Trellis Board. It will work with a single Trellis board, or with a matrix of up to 8 Trellis boards.

For more details, see the Adafruit Trellis Learn Guide.

Dependencies

This driver depends on:

Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem. This is easily achieved by downloading the Adafruit library and driver bundle.

Installing from PyPI

On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally from PyPI. To install for current user:

pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-trellis

To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):

sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-trellis

To install in a virtual environment in your current project:

mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-trellis

Usage Example

See examples/trellis_simpletest.py for full usage example.

import time
import busio
from board import SCL, SDA
from adafruit_trellis import Trellis

# Create the I2C interface
i2c = busio.I2C(SCL, SDA)

# Create a Trellis object for each board
trellis = Trellis(i2c) # 0x70 when no I2C address is supplied

# Turn on every LED
print('Turning all LEDs on...')
trellis.led.fill(True)
time.sleep(2)

# Turn off every LED
print('Turning all LEDs off...')
trellis.led.fill(False)
time.sleep(2)
