This is a python application that I use to control the lightning decoration in a set of LEGO constructions. The current logic is: some of the LEDs are always ON, while some others only turn on when there's unread email.

As of now, the Arduino control logic and configuration is hardcoded. A different hardware configuration means that legovillage module must be modified. Only email settings are configurable at the moment.

• Setuptools (for automatic installation)
• arduino-python

python setup.py install

Upload the following sketch to an Arduino: https://github.com/thearn/Python-Arduino-Command-API

Usage: legovillage

Note: In order to run legovillage, a configuration file (legovillage.json) must exist inside the current directory. (There's a file called legovillage.json.tpl that contains an example.)
