Code

Receive.py

Python
Set the MATRIX LEDs to a valid color that's given through Chirp
from chirpsdk import CallbackSet, CHIRP_CONNECT_STATE, ChirpConnect
from matrix_lite import led
import time
import sys

# Create Chirp Instance
chirp = ChirpConnect()

# Print Chirp Status & Audio Transmission type
print(str(chirp))
print('Audio Transmission: {protocol} [v{version}]'.format(
protocol=chirp.protocol_name,
version=chirp.protocol_version))

# Select MATRIX Microphones
print(chirp.audio.query_devices()) # Show list of audio devices
chirp.audio.input_device = 3 # select MATRIX microphones (assuming index is 3)

## Set Chirp Event Listeners ##
class Callbacks(CallbackSet):
    # On Chirp Received
    def on_received(self, data, channel):
        # Read Chirp message
        if data is not None:
            # Change Color Of LEDs
            message = data.decode('utf-8')
            print('Changing LEDs to: ' + message)
            led.set(message)

        else:
            print('Decode failed')

    # On Chirp Being Received
    def on_receiving(self, channel):
        print('Receiving a Chirp! [ch{ch}]'.format(ch=channel))

chirp.set_callbacks(Callbacks())

# Start The Chirp Service
chirp.start(send=False, receive=True)

# Keep Listening For Chirps
try:
    while True:
        time.sleep(0.1)
        sys.stdout.write('.')

chirp.stop()

Send.py

Python
This script automatically toggles between sending Chirps with the message "red" and "green".
from chirpsdk import CallbackSet, CHIRP_CONNECT_STATE, ChirpConnect
from matrix_lite import led
import time

# Create chirp instance
chirp = ChirpConnect()

# Print Chirp status & audio transmission type
print(str(chirp))
print('Audio Transmission: {protocol} [v{version}]'.format(
protocol=chirp.protocol_name,
version=chirp.protocol_version))

## Set Chirp Event Listeners ##
class Callbacks(CallbackSet):
    # On Chirp Sent
    def on_sent(self, payload, channel):
        print('Chirp Sent: {data} [ch{ch}]'.format(data=list(payload), ch=channel))

    # On Chirp Being Sent
    def on_sending(self, payload, channel):
        print('Sending Chirp: {data} [ch{ch}]'.format(data=list(payload), ch=channel))

chirp.set_callbacks(Callbacks())

# Start The Chirp Service
chirp.start(send=True, receive=False)

# Continuously Send Chirp Messages
counter = 0
color = ""

try:
    while True:
        # Toggle Color
        if counter%2 == 0: color = "red"
        elif counter%2 == 1: color = "green"
        counter += 1

        # Send Chirp With Color
        message = chirp.new_payload(color.encode('utf-8'))
        chirp.send(message)
        time.sleep(2)

except KeyboardInterrupt:
    print('Exiting')

chirp.stop()
