LedBorg

Just installed the cheerborg.py and it works great for the primary colors however it just turns off when requesting oldlace, I'm not sure if it does the same for pink yet but thought I'd let you know and see if anyone's experencing the same thing?

Hi people,

As PiBorg suggested me on Twitter I expand my request to this forum. I don't know if you alredady know what a Pine64 is, so here goes a link to its kickstarter project, wich I and more than 30000 people did.

Hi all,
I am looking at using the LEDborg (with RPi 2B) to transmit data (bits) with On/Off Keying (OOK) and was wondering if there may be limitations with switching speed, heat or rise/fall times of the LED?

I'm considering rates of 2Mbps with white light.

The LedBorg is attractive to me as a complete package for RPi but no point in purchasing it if I can't get the desired performance.

If there are alternative products I should consider, please feel free to post a link.
Thanks,
Paul

Hi folks

Any answers to any of the following appreciated:

1. If I just want full output, is it simply a case of toggling the appropriate GPI pins hi or low?

2. The documentation briefly mentions cooling. Are there considerations related to ventilation or the use of a heatsink that might be relevant if I'm likely to be having the LEDs on full output a lot of the time?

Hi,

has anyone rewritten the PingMonitor-Script (https://www.piborg.org/pingmonitor) to work with wiringpi ?

Thanks in advance!

I think i run into a issue when trying to setup the ledborg directory

I am using the Raspberry pi 2 model b

This first part works fine
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install python-dev python-setuptools
With easy_install we can install WiringPi 2 by using the following command:
sudo easy_install wiringpi2

Its when i get to lesson 1 i put all the code and the led do not activate

Please help thanks

Hi,

I received a Ledborg the other day and after multiple attempts, trawling through the forums, nothing seems to be working for me.

This is where I get to, no green light :(

Installing LedBorg, please wait...
Error: Module ledborg is not currently loaded
update-rc.d: using dependency based boot sequencing
Error: could not insert module /home/pi/ledborg.ko: Invalid module format
./install.sh: line 33: /dev/ledborg: Permission denied
LedBorg installed, LedBorg should now be green

I'm very confused as to why this is not working

At the moment the current LedBorg instructions will install a version of WiringPi2-Python which is unable to control the GPIO pins.

If you follow these instructions you can manually build a copy which can drive the GPIO pins:

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/Gadgetoid/WiringPi2-Python.git
cd WiringPi2-Python
rm -r WiringPi
git clone git://git.drogon.net/wiringPi
mv wiringPi WiringPi
cd WiringPi
sudo ./build
cd ..
sudo python setup.py install

After this the normal scripts should be able to control the LedBorg again.

I'm using the HowHotIsMy.py script to monitor the temperature of the processor but I would decrease the overall brightness of the LEDs, how can I do?

I want to use LedBorg to monitor the percentage of CPU utilization. Has anyone made a script with the new LedBorg drivers to do this?
