Hardware

esp8266 ftw. i used wemoses D1.

Dedicated WiFi

Just because we have weird people on our network during bytenight.

power the strip with a 5v-2a wallwart

Chicken tubes

install fastled, install esp8266 support in your arduino IDE, be lazy :tada: nothing fancy, just a modified fastled demoreel same code as the rgb strip, just change this #define to

#define LED_TYPE    TM1809

chicken tubes are on display in the space they have their own 12v powerpack.

Lightbrellas

This is basically an esp8266 acting as a UDP -> UART bridge towards a bluepill used a bluepill cause i needed 15 pwm channels, we had some in the hardware selfvending cabinet. i like STM32, byte me :p

bluepillcode

here

program with a recycled stm32 devboard or a blackmagic or a cheap stlink clone…

connections :

the system

the 5 umbrellas plug in the cross, yeah have 1 power (green cable) 1 ground (brown cable) that cannot be mixed thanks to male femal connector.

The long multicolored ribbon goes to the logic board.

the logic board

umbreallas calbes are numbers 1 to 5, 1 is in the center and after that just go in order.

on the logic board 1 goes to the side without the black cable (ground , not used afte rdev, was just for my scope) then 2,3,4 and 5 last pin is NEXT to the black cable.

the power brick

plug in the wall :p

Bass detection circuit

Thanks and Kudos to LenarT for the help with the opamp design, i suck at analog It have an esp8266 with an interrup attached on a pin, waits for it, broadcasts an UDP bass packet, other stuff blinks
