圣诞节马上就要临近了，大家有没有开始装扮圣诞树呢！本期给大家带来一个用 NeoPixel 库点亮圣诞树的项目。项目非常的简单，即使你没有任何基础，也可以跟着教程搭建！
一棵盛装打扮的圣诞树绝对是节日的氛围担当！绿树银花，一杯热咖啡，在麋鹿和圣诞树的陪伴下，我们可以倒数着新年的钟声！愿所有美好如期而至，愿所有幸运不期而遇。
组件清单
树莓派 Zero V2 x 1
NeoPixel LED 灯条（5×50 规格） x 5
5v PSU x 1
绝缘胶带 x 1
电线盒 x 1
配置树莓派
配置树莓派、安装 Node-RED 和其他软件包。
常规安装树莓派系统，参考教程：
https://shumeipai.nxez.com/2013/09/07/how-to-install-and-activate-raspberry-pi.html
2、运行以下命令安装 Node-RED
bash <(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/node-red/linux-installers/master/deb/update-nodejs-and-nodered)
将 Node-RED 设置为启动时自动启动
sudo systemctl enable nodered.service
3、运行以下命令安装 Unicorn HAT 驱动：
https://learn.pimoroni.com/article/getting-started-with-unicorn-hat
该驱动将实现树莓派与 NeoPixels 库的连接。
curl -sS get.pimoroni.com/unicornhat | bash
安装 Unicorn HAT 后，它将会更改音频的设置并重启。
注意：如果上述命令因为权限而无法运行，请在命令前面添加“sudo”并在出现提示时输入密码。
设置 Node-RED
当树莓派配置好后，再设置 Node-RED 服务器。在树莓派上安装 http://localhost:1880 或在本地网络的计算机上搜索服务器。在另一台机器上浏览时请使用主机名或 IP 地址设置为 http://hostname:1880。你可以通过在树莓派上运行 “hostname -I”来找到 IP 地址。
我们需要添加两个模块，让 LED 灯点亮起来，我将提供三种添加的方式。
1、点击以下链接添加模块：
node-red-dashboard
https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-dashboard
node-red-node-pi-neopixel
https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-node-pi-neopixel
2、如果你更喜欢通过命令行添加模块，可按照链接查找命令，并确保位于正确的目录中，以便 Node-RED 可以找到它们。
3、通过导航到网页上的 UI 添加模块
单击右上角的“Menu”按钮 -> 选择“Manage palett” -> 选择“Install” -> 在搜索字段中输入“node-red-dashboard”-> 在最上面的选项上选择“install” -> 完成后，输入“node-red-node-pi-neopixel”-> 在唯一可用选项上选择“install”-> 最后，选择“Close”。
目前，Node-RED 已经拥有了运行 LED 和用户界面所需的所有模块。现在可以添加定义使用、树莓派和 LED 灯的输入和输出。
单击右上角的“Menu”按钮，选择“Import”，然后将以下内容粘贴到打开的对话框中：

选择“Import”后，你可以看到如图所示的流程。选择右上角的“Deploy”，打开一个新选项并导航到 UI 为“ http://hostname:1880/ui”（将 hostname 替换为树莓派的 IP 地址），完成后可以看到用户界面的图像。
注意：此代码 LED 灯光的强度设置为 40%，这样可以减少 PSU 的功率消耗，LED 灯的亮度也不错。如果你想调整亮度，只需双击流程最后的 “rpi-neopixels node”，进行调整即可。
布线
布线前请确保关闭树莓派。布线到树莓派非常的简单，请点击链接查看。
https://tutorials-raspberrypi.com/connect-control-raspberry-pi-ws2812-rgb-led-strips/
只需要连接地线和 LED 的线即可，请确保连连线正确。
LED 灯条的连接方式如下：
Vin-红色
Ground-白色-树莓派引脚 6
Signal-绿色-树莓派引脚 12 (GPIO 18)
因为音频在 GPIO 上使用相同的引脚，所以音频在树莓派上为 HDMI。连接到树莓派后，可以将 PSU 连接到 LED 灯条。你可以根据自己的喜好选择 LED 灯的数量和长度，然后连接到 PSU，最后将 PSU 隐藏在圣诞树的后面。
请确保所有裸露的电线用绝缘胶带包裹好，并将电线放入电线盒中，防止小孩触电。
完成所有接线后，就可以为树莓派和 LED 灯供电。树莓派启动后，从你选择的设备导航到 http://hostname:1880/ui （可将 hostname 替换为树莓派的 IP 地址）。同时可以将 UI 的快捷方式保存到手机上，这样就可以随时访问。
按下按钮，圣诞树就会点亮啦！好心情是不是随之而来呢！
