The goals of this project are as follows:
* Intuitive, object-oriented design
* Convenient for use in script and shell
* Access to all (or most) of the Launchpad Mini MK3 MIDI features


## Installation
To install the most stable version of this package, run:
```bash
$ pip install lpminimk3
```
To test the installation, connect your Launchpad to your computer and run:
```bash
$ python -m lpminimk3.examples.hello
```


## Usage example
Make sure your Launchpad is connected to your computer.

### In script
Control LEDs individually:
```python
"""Display a random array of colors for 5 seconds.
"""

from lpminimk3 import Mode, find_launchpads
import random
import time

lp = find_launchpads()[0]  # Get the first available launchpad
lp.open()  # Open device for reading and writing on MIDI interface (by default)

lp.mode = Mode.PROG  # Switch to the programmer mode

for led in lp.panel.led_range():  # Loop through all LEDs
    led.color = random.randint(1, 127)  # Set LED to a random color

time.sleep(5)  # Keep LEDs on for a while

for led in lp.panel.led_range():
    del led.color  # Turn off LED
```
Render text on Launchpad's surface:
```python
"""Scroll text from right to left across the Launchpad's surface.
"""

from lpminimk3 import Mode, find_launchpads
from lpminimk3.graphics import Text

lp = find_launchpads()[0]  # Get the first available launchpad
lp.open()  # Open device for reading and writing on MIDI interface (by default)

lp.mode = Mode.PROG  # Switch to the programmer mode

lp.grid.render(Text(' Hello, world!').scroll())  # Scroll text once
```
See more examples [here](https://github.com/obeezzy/lpminimk3/tree/main/lpminimk3/examples).

### In shell
Start by finding a connected device and opening the device for reading and writing:
```bash
$ python
>>> import lpminimk3
>>> lp = lpminimk3.find_launchpads()[0]
>>> lp.open()
```
Query the device to ensure we can read and write to it:
```python
>>> lp.device_inquiry()  # Query device
MidiEvent(message=[240, 0, 32, 41, 2, 13, 14, 1, 247], deltatime=150.938086752)
```
Switch to `programmer` mode to start manipulating button LEDs:
```python
>>> lp.mode = 'prog'  # Switch to programmer mode
>>> lp.grid.led(0).color = 10  # Set color of LED at grid position 0 to yellow (Valid values: 0 - 127)
>>> lp.grid.led(1,0).color = lpminimk3.colors.ColorPalette.Red.SHADE_1  # Set from palette
>>> lp.grid.led('0x1').color = lpminimk3.colors.WebColor("amethyst")  # Set color from web colors
>>> lp.panel.led('logo').color = 'violet'  # Set logo LED color to violet
>>> lp.panel.led('drums').color = 'green2'  # Set 'Drums' LED color to second shade of green
>>> lp.panel.led('stop').color = 'w1'  # Set 'Stop/Solo/Mute' LED color to first shade of white
>>> lp.panel.led('mute').color = 'o3'  # Set 'Stop/Solo/Mute' LED color to third shade of orange
>>> lp.panel.led('mute').color = 'r0'  # Invalid but okay, will default to 'r1'
>>> lp.panel.led('scene_launch_1').color = '#ff0000'  # Set color to red using hex
>>> lp.panel.led('scene_launch_2').color = (0, 0, 255)  # Set color to blue using rgb
>>> lp.panel.led('mute').color = 0  # Turn off LED
>>> lp.panel.led('logo').reset()  # Another way to turn off LED
>>> del lp.panel.led('stop').color  # Another way to turn off LED
>>> lp.panel.reset()  # Turn off all LEDs
```
Note in the above snippet that `lp.grid` only contains the __*grid*__ buttons
(i.e. the translucent, faceless buttons) and `lp.panel` contains all buttons
(including the __*logo*__ LED at the top right corner).  

Wait for and respond to button presses and releases:
```python
>>> ev = lp.panel.buttons().poll_for_event()  # Block until any button is pressed/released
>>> ev
ButtonEvent(button='7x5', type='press', deltatime=0.0)
```
Or only button releases instead:
```python
>>> ev = lp.panel.buttons().poll_for_event(type='release')  # Block until released
>>> ev
ButtonEvent(button='up', type='release', deltatime=0.0)
```
Pass button names as arguments to wait for specific button events:
```python
>>> lp.panel.buttons('up', '0x0', 'stop').poll_for_event()
```
Render `A` on Launchpad's surface:
```python
>>> from lpminimk3.graphics import Text
>>> lp.grid.render(Text('A'))
```
Print `A` in console:
```python
>>> Text('A').print()
  XX    
 XXXX   
XX  XX  
XX  XX  
XXXXXX  
XX  XX  
XX  XX  
```
Scroll `Hello, world!` on Launchpad's surface indefinitely:
```python
>>> lp.grid.render(Text(' Hello, world!').scroll(count=-1))
```


## Extended graphics support
`lpminimk3` is also capable of rendering graphics from _**bitmaps**_ and _**movies**_. These are JSON files that describe the rendering data in a high-level format. Data in these files are grouped as _**frames**_. A **frame** is a sequence of bits and their color configurations. A **bitmap** file consists of a single frame while a **movie** file consists of a sequence of frames. 

### Syncing with LP Sketch
If you want to create and edit bitmaps and/or movies with a graphical tool, try [LP Sketch](https://www.github.com/obeezzy/lpsketch). LP Sketch is a free online Launchpad editor specifically designed for use with `lpminimk3`. You can also sync your Launchpad with LP Sketch by starting `lpminimk3`'s sync server:
```bash
$ python -m lpminimk3.graphics.sync
```
Once the server is running, visit the [LP Sketch](https://www.github.com/obeezzy/lpsketch) website to start creating bitmaps and movies live.

### Rendering bitmaps and movies
Render `smiley.bitmap.json` on Launchpad's surface:
```python
"""Render "Smiley" bitmap.
"""

from lpminimk3 import Mode, find_launchpads
from lpminimk3.graphics import Bitmap
from lpminimk3.graphics.art import Bitmaps

lp = find_launchpads()[0]  # Get the first available launchpad
lp.open()  # Open device for reading and writing on MIDI interface (by default)

lp.mode = Mode.PROG  # Switch to the programmer mode

lp.grid.render(Bitmap(Bitmaps.SMILEY))  # Display bitmap
# OR
# lp.grid.render(Bitmap("/path/to/smiley.bitmap.json"))
```
Render `ping_pong.movie.json` on Launchpad's surface:
```python
"""Render "Ping/Pong" movie.
"""

from lpminimk3 import Mode, find_launchpads
from lpminimk3.graphics import Movie
from lpminimk3.graphics.art import Movies

lp = find_launchpads()[0]  # Get the first available launchpad
lp.open()  # Open device for reading and writing on MIDI interface (by default)

lp.mode = Mode.PROG  # Switch to the programmer mode

lp.grid.render(Movie(Movies.PING_PONG).play())  # Play movie once
# OR
# lp.grid.render(Movie("/path/to/ping_pong.movie.json").play())
```
For convenience, you can use the render script, `render.py`:
```bash
$ python -m lpminimk3.graphics.render -f /path/to/bitmap/or/movie.json
```
`render.py` can be used to render text, bitmaps and movies on the Launchpad and on the console. For more options, run:
```bash
$ python -m lpminimk3.graphics.render -h
```
