Raspberry pi Project Piano Led Strips lightshow
March 9, 2023, 18:29
I want to make a LED strip working that when I press a key on the Piano, the LED there shine up. I have everything set up and the LED's are working (WS2812B) So i just have to find someone to help me "program" it I think? If anyone can help pls here! Thanks 😉
it is done by connecting controller to midi interface of your keyboard and then translating midi commands to addressable LED strip.

Do you have any application that translates midi to adress LED strip?
i just sent you a link
What is that Arduino thing
I don't find it as application
what application. Arduino is hardware.
I have a raspberry pi as you see on the title...
well... would you fly a jumbo jet to a mall?
What?
Bro there is a way.
Because if you see all the viedeos they do it with a raspberry pi.
I just need a application that translates midi to an adress when the LED should light up
So no answer?
well, as i said. using cannon for killing a mosquito works, but is overkill AF.
esp8266 boots within 2-3 seconds.
pi boots for over a minute.
Bro I am a Noob I can't do anything with this information this
is my first time using a raspberry pi
I don't know how this all work
Wrong window, sry
thing is... you power up your piano. pi would start to boot.
and will boot for another minute.
you can play instantly, however pi wont do anything.
and it can freeze at any time. It is not realtime system.
meanwhile using ESP8266 as i sent you that guide, you will get near instantenous boot and if it gets stuck, it reboots within few seconds.
as it does not (need to) load any OS.
and mainly, price of pi? can go up to 200 bucks.
price of esp? $2.
that is just a library. He begs for finished product.
when you give one to him, he is unhappy
i think they’re just looking for a solution that he can use with his existing hardware
as i said, he might be owner of jumbo jet, and still not use it for mall shopping ...
sure, you can in theory taxi on the road, would be cumbersome and take ages to maneuver
and you may crash into something
meanwhile you can use regular car, be there in fraction of the time without any hassle.
sure, you may need to buy new car if you do not have one, but if you are rich enough to buy jumbo, you can afford a car.
Perhaps this meets your needs, but it looks a bit complex.

<@456538086453805068>If you cant answer the question, why continue? To propose to use another hardware isn't an answer! And your reasoning with Jumbo jet and cars is just so full of flaws.
no, it is not.
jumbo: fast, pricey, takes ages to start.
car: slower, cheap, starts instantly (compared to other option)
there is a BIG difference, if you get system running in 2s or 60.
there is BIG difference, if your system costs $5 or $200.
Yes the cost is zero for the Raspberry Pi that the OP has, you assume that the Raspberry Pi starts when the piano starts. And a Arduino is a steeper learning curve for someone that hasnt been programing before!
so you think he will powerup pi, wait 1-2 minutes for it to finish booting, then power up piano?
arduino is a steeper learning curve? Really? Just upload a binary?
if that person can manage to flash an SD card for pi, that person can manage to flash arduino.

<@148902538119217161> he needs addressable LEDs, not "dumb" strips
