Piano RGB LED controller. Will light up LED strip when keys are pressed. Strictly uses websockets for communication between the host and the client. Built this because I am using the midi port on my keyboard for other things and wanted a super solid web based solution. Inspired by onlaj/Piano-LED-Visualizer.
Prepare your hardware --> instructions
You will need for a better list of hardware and setup instructions visit onlaj/Piano-LED-Visualizer:
- Raspberry Pi Zero WH
- Micro SD card minimum 8GB
- 5V 6A power supply should be sufficient
- DC socket with quick connection
- A WS2812 type adressible RGB LED strip, the better the quality the better the color reproduction
-
Access your raspberry pi zero using ssh using this guide
-
Install node 11 on rpi zero using this guide:
wget https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v11.x/node-v11.15.0-linux-armv6l.tar.gztar xvfJ node-v11.15.0-linux-armv6l.tar.gzsudo cp -R node-v11.15.0-linux-armv6l/* /usr/local/
-
Install node 11 on your host system using this link:
- Windows systems also need to install VS build tools, you can try
npm install --global --production windows-build-toolsor visit here
- Windows systems also need to install VS build tools, you can try
- Clone this repo to your host system and raspberry pi zero
- Navigate to the repo and run:
- PI ---->
npm run pi:install && npm run pi:start - HOST ----> use dist app or
npm run electron:install && npm run electronfor debug mode
- PI ---->
- Complete MVP, ability to control the strip with the keyboard using websockets
- Add ability to save settings
- Add ability to control the strip with google home
- Add UI to select midi input device, color, brightness, etc.
- Create RPI image to make setup easier
- Create packaged version of the app for windows, mac, and linux (don't know if will ever do this)
- Maybe support for basic API to control the strip?
- Make app work in sync with keysight (maybe, depends on how much I use keysight going forward)
