      Product description

      The Pi-LITEr is a fully assembled add on board for the Raspberry Pi computer. It has 8 ultra-bright white LED's on a board which plugs directly on to the 26 way GPIO header.

      For fun but also for more serious applications, the Pi-LITEr is a must have edition to any Pi owners toolbox.

      Each of the 8 LEDs consumes a tiny amount of current; this means the Pi-LITEr can often be used alongside other I/O projects to give status indication. Lighting all 8 LEDs is even less than a single standard LED (which is 20ma nominal vs 14.4ma for the Pi-LITEr).

      If you need to expand your GPIO header to support another connection, the Ciseco Pi Wingman is the product you will find perfect for the job.

      Features:

      •    8 Ultra bright white LED’s
      •    Low current consumption
      •    Simply plugs in
      •    Economical
      •    Fits in many case types
      •    Gold plated circuit board

      Applications:

      •    I/O status indicator
      •    Bar graph
      •    Light chaser
      •    Activity indicator
      •    Lighting effects

      Software compatibility

      We have had success with the two most common ways to control the I/O pins on the Raspberry Pi; RPi.GPIO and WiringPi.
      We chose to use WiringPi in conjunction with WiringPi2Python for our example code.

      Code example - run all LED's at random (reminds me a little of WOPA from war games)

       

      # make sure you run this under sudo python xxxxxfilename
      # writen by ciseco 2013 - www.ciseco.co.uk
      # you may use this code in any way you wish, an acknowledgement is always good :)

      import random
      random.random()
      import wiringpi2 as wiringpi
      wiringpi.wiringPiSetup()
      from time import sleep
      str = 0
      str2 = 0
      delay = 0.08
      loop = 1
      wiringpi.pinMode(7,1) #Setup pin 7 as out put for LED 1
      wiringpi.pinMode(0,1) #Setup pin 0 as out put for LED 2
      wiringpi.pinMode(2,1) #Setup pin 2 as out put for LED 3
      wiringpi.pinMode(1,1) #Setup pin 1 as out put for LED 4
      wiringpi.pinMode(3,1) #Setup pin 3 as out put for LED 5
      wiringpi.pinMode(4,1) #Setup pin 4 as out put for LED 6
      wiringpi.pinMode(5,1) #Setup pin 5 as out put for LED 7
      wiringpi.pinMode(6,1) #Setup pin 6 as out put for LED 8
       
      while (loop < 10):
          str = random.randint(0,7)
          str2 = random.randint(0,1)
          wiringpi.digitalWrite(str,str2)
          sleep(0.03)

      N.B. Some browsers misinterpret the tabs/spacing, if you get an error in Python, delete the spacing and redo with the TAB key
