A little help from the top-notch FastLED library and an array of 56 WS2812B LEDs actually made it fun (and fast) to code the “glow” features of Glowdeck I demo in the video.
Interested in helping me develop the music sync feature (previewed briefly in the video)? Add a comment with how I can contact you.
And many thanks to the FastLED community!
I should also mention that the Glowdeck PCB is based on the same microcontrolle used on the Teensy 3.1, is fully Arduino compatible, and most importantly:
Features a pair of analog converters to feed the incoming Bluetooth streaming audio into two analog pins on the MCU. So where audio-reactive code using an FFT and an electret microphone need to compensate for ambient noise, the Glowdeck board gets a clean line-level audio signal from both left and right channels.
Sir u can take my money… I want one
Thanks Philippe! But at the moment, I am more interested in teaming up with one or more members of this community to harness the unique hardware capabilities of the Glowdeck board for a truly first-of-its-kind music-syncing LED product.
If you have experience with this brand of development and want to help, then hold on to your money and I’ll be happy to provide you with a Glowdeck development board to work with for free (I’ll post a picture of the board shortly in case that’s more enticing to folks than the finished product video).
Thanks again for the positive feedback though!
Ok, posted PCB images with more details under Support, check it out!
