About The Project

The Raspberry Pico LED Matrix Controller is a project that uses a Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller to drive an LED matrix display. It features custom animations, text displays, and interactive patterns controlled through GPIO buttons.

Built With

• Raspberry Pi Pico C/C++ SDK
• PIO (Programmable I/O)
• CMake

Features

• 🎨 Multiple LED patterns and animations
• 📝 Display text (IFPI letters)
• 🎯 Interactive control using GPIO buttons
• 🌈 RGB color support
• ⚡ Efficient PIO-based LED control
• 🔄 Smooth animations with configurable timing

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Raspberry Pi Pico
• LED Matrix Display
• Buttons for control
• Raspberry Pi Pico SDK
• CMake
• Build tools (GCC)

Installation

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/HeitorLouzeiroRepositoryIFPI/raspberry-pico-led-matrix.git
2. Navigate to the project directory

   cd raspberry-pico-led-matrix
3. Create and enter build directory

   mkdir build && cd build
4. Generate build files with CMake

   cmake ..
5. Build the project

   make
6. Flash the compiled .uf2 file to your Raspberry Pi Pico

Usage

The project supports various display modes and patterns:

1. Press Button A + B simultaneously to display "IFPI" text
2. Press Button A for geometric shapes animation sequence
3. Press Button B for custom pattern displays

Roadmap

• Basic LED matrix control
• Text display support
• Multiple animation patterns
• Button controls
