RGB Matrix Comic Windows

A Raspberry Pi-based project for driving RGB LED matrices with custom visuals & storytelling. It sequence text and animations to tell a narrative... It's like a digital LED comic book!

(the project name is currently a work in progress...)

Part 1: Development

This project depends on the hzeller/rpi-rgb-led-matrix library. Both folders must reside in the same parent directory.

# Clone the library
git clone [https://github.com/hzeller/rpi-rgb-led-matrix.git](https://github.com/hzeller/rpi-rgb-led-matrix.git)

# Clone this project
git clone [https://github.com/your-username/smth-about-hypnosis.git](https://github.com/your-username/smth-about-hypnosis.git)

├── rpi-rgb-led-matrix/
├── smth-about-hypnosis/
    └── README.md

Connect to your Raspberry Pi via SSH

ssh raspberry@raspberrypi.local

To rsync your local code with the Pi, refer to the scripts/readme.md

Build and Run

This will also build rpi-rgb-led-matrix library

make pro && sudo ./pro

Part 2: Showcase

Auto start setup

Run the installation script to set up the project as a systemd service:

cd scripts
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh

Check service logs

journalctl -u smth-about-hypnosis -f

Start service

#!/bin/bash
set -euo pipefail
sudo systemctl start smth-about-hypnosis
sudo systemctl status smth-about-hypnosis --no-pager || true

Stop service

#!/bin/bash
set -euo pipefail
sudo systemctl stop smth-about-hypnosis
sudo systemctl status smth-about-hypnosis --no-pager || true

Disable service

#!/bin/bash
set -euo pipefail
sudo systemctl stop smth-about-hypnosis
sudo systemctl disable smth-about-hypnosis
