Let's get this pong clock working :)

1

There is this amazing pong clock “pypong” developed by donclark (Bitbucket). I’m trying to get it up and running on my pi-zero-w-2 which is currently running the MLB, NBA, NFL, and Tetris Clock without a hitch.

The thing is, those other programs all were built to run on a 64x32 led matrix with rpi-rgb-led. Pypong appears to have been written to run on the monitor port (TFT) screen. I can get the code to execute on my headless pi over ssh, but I have no output on the led matrix when piping the python command to rpi-rgb-led.
[sudo python pypong-clock.py --led-gpio-mapping=adafruit-hat-pwm --led-brightness=60 --led-slowdown-gpio=2 --led-cols 64]

How much of an uphill battle is this going to be? Is there something simple I am missing here, or is this going to require some major elbow grease? I am comfortable with linux, and python. Pretty new to this community. This is my second week messing with led matrixes and the rpi.

Thanks for any help or guidance you can throw my way.

if it’s meant to work on the TFT, you’d have to extract anything that writes to the screen, factor that out, and re-direct to your rgbpanel framebuffer.
It’s definitely more work than just piping the output or giving it command line options it doesn’t support.
