Python Scripts And Custom Effects On The Pi 500+

🔗 *The full guide* : _https://core-electronics.com.au/guides/raspberry-pi/how-to-customise-your-pi-500-plus-rgb-keyboard-python-scripts-and-custom-effects/_

In this video, we explore the *fully programmable RGB* keyboard built into the *Pi 500+.* The keyboard already ships with a bunch of lighting presets, but we’ll be taking things much further — creating our own *custom animations,* colour effects, games, and notification systems using both terminal commands and *Python scripts.* We’ll also look at how to save and recall lighting profiles, build an interactive screensaver feature, and even _flash alerts for system events — all powered directly by the Pi 500+.
