It is supposed to be educational, and is therefore written in Python. The library is fast enough to produce nice colour effects on a 300 LED strand, even though it is running via the Python interpreter. However, if you need something really fast, e.g. to drive a small "display" based on APA102 LEDs with 15 frames per second, then you have to look elsewhere. ## Prerequisites -* A Raspberry Pi, running an up-to-date version of Raspbian (the library is tested with the 2018-11-13 version of Raspbian Stretch Lite). -* If hardware SPI is used: SPI enabled and active (`raspi-config`, Interfacing Options, SPI, Enable); The SPI must be free and unused. +* A Raspberry Pi, running an up-to-date version of Raspbian (the library is tested with the 2019-07-10 version of Raspbian Buster Lite). +* If hardware SPI is used: SPI enabled and active (`raspi-config`, Interfacing Options, SPI, \); The SPI must be free and unused. * For software SPI (bit bang mode): Two free GPIO pins * The Adafruit_Python_GPIO library (https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Python_GPIO).
