with assembling the fountain when we power the fountain along with the RGB LEDs.
A water fountain strapped with a digitally addressable RGB LED
Objective complete - mini debriefing
In the first step, we finished assembling the fountain and the RGB LED strip. We will move
on to install a web framework to implement lighing control for the framework, which we
can change based on our needs.
Installation of the Flask framework
In this task, we will install the Flask framework on the Raspberry Pi and complete a test web
page on the Raspberry Pi. We will use the Flask framework to control the RGB LED strip.
Prepare for lift off
In the previous projects, we installed python module installers such as
pip
or
easy_install
.
If either of these tools isn't installed, they can be installed by execuing the following command:
sudo apt-get install python-pip
Alternaively, you can use the following command:
sudo apt-get install python-setuptools.
Next, we will work on installing the Flask framework and the first example.
