🚀 Pixoo - A Node.js library for the PIXOO LED matrix

Pixoo is a powerful Node.js library for controlling the PIXOO LED matrix over HTTP. With Pixoo, you can easily draw pixels, text, and even images on the matrix with a simple and intuitive API.

📦 Installation

To install Pixoo, simply use npm:

npm install pixoo64

🔨 Usage

To use Pixoo, you'll need to know the IP address of your PIXOO matrix. Once you have that, you can create a new Pixoo instance like so:

const Pixoo = require('pixoo');
const pixoo = new Pixoo('192.168.1.100');

From there, you can start using the various functions provided by Pixoo to draw on the matrix. For example, you can clear the matrix and draw a pixel like this:

pixoo.clear();
pixoo.drawPixel([0, 0], [255, 0, 0]); // Draw a red pixel at (0, 0)

There are many more functions available, including ones for drawing text and images.

🤖 Simulation mode

Pixoo can also be used in simulation mode, which allows you to test and debug your code without the need for a physical PIXOO matrix. To use simulation mode, simply pass true as the second argument to the Pixoo constructor:

const  client = new  Pixoo("127.0.0.1", 64, true, true, true);


(async () => {
    await  client.drawImage(__dirname + "/background.png")
    client.drawText("Hello World", [23, 4], [128, 255, 255])

    await  client.push();
    console.log("Saving sim...")
    const  outputPath = "sim.png";
    client.simulator.saveImage(outputPath)
})()

In simulation mode, a virtual matrix will be displayed on a png.
