        # pycrafter4500
        
        This is an unofficial API for some functionality of the Texas Instruments Lightcrafter 4500.
        
        Code adapted for the TI Lightcrafter 4500 from https://github.com/csi-dcsc/Pycrafter6500
        
        The DLPC 350 is the controller chip on the LCR 4500.
        
        TI DLPC 350 documentation can be found at: http://www.ti.com/product/DLPC350/technicaldocuments
        
        Doc strings adapted from dlpc350_api.cpp source code.
        
        To connect to the LCR4500, the libusb-win32 driver is required. The recommended way to do is this is
        with [Zadig](http://zadig.akeo.ie/). The pyusb package is also required.
        
        
        ## Install
        
        pycrafter4500 is available through pypi
        
        ```bash
        pip install pycrafter4500
        ```
        
        
        ## Usage
        
        ```python
        import pycrafter4500
        ```
        
        Waking up from and going into standby:
        
        ```python
        pycrafter4500.power_up()
        pycrafter4500.power_down()
        ```
        
        Toggling back to video mode from pattern sequence mode:
        
        ```python
        pycrafter4500.video_mode()
        ```
        
        Starting a pattern sequence:
        
        ```python
        # for example: 222 hz, 7 bit depth, white
        pycrafter4500.pattern_mode(num_pats=3,
                                   fps=222,
                                   bit_depth=7,
                                   led_color=0b111,  # BGR flags                 
                                   )
        ```
        
        If you wish to send other commands, this can be done using the dlpc350 class. See source documentation for further details.
        
        ```python
        from pycrafter4500 import dlpc350, connect_usb
        from pycrafter4500 import bits_to_bytes, conv_len
        
        with connect_usb() as lcr:
            lcr.command('w', 0x00, CMD2, CMD3, payload)
        ```
