muzio26

Arduino based VU meter

History

• This code is a spinoff of great contribution done by Cine-Lights
• It has been tuned to fit [Muzio26 packeg]. (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1936020118/muzio-music-visualization-animated/description), an awesome VU metter based on top of CineLights code.
• But it can be re-used for any setup included an arduino and a LED strip.

Difference with Cine-Lights version

• Add a visual indicator to show which pattern has been selected
• NeoPixel has been removed to leverage only on FastLED (only one framework to learn)
• Source code has been re-arranged, one VU pattern into one header
  • in order to remove a VU from you build: remove dedicated include (#include "...h") from patter array of main file (muzio26.cpp/ino) and that's it.
• Adding some struct array to easily add / remove pattern
• Optionnaly print a nice pattern name on Serial (Change MUZIO_DEBUG).
• Hardware setup take place into only one file: "custom.h"
  • This the place when u wanna change
    • LEDs type & number
    • PIN numbers
    • Platform specific stuf

TODO

• Some cleaning in globale variable.
• Continue to leverage on other FastLed faetures (RGBSet, FastLED.delay, CRGB operastor ...)
• Add other pattern
• Make sure it works on ESP8266 / ESP32 / Teensy
• Add non visual Fx.
• Add line in
• Add Bluetooth (ESP32) ?
• Add Wifi (ESP*) ?

VS Code

• The project is build with Visual Studio Code and PlatformIO extension
• Have a look to platformio.ini to change targeted board and USB port

Arduino IDE

• I switch from ArduinoIDE to VSCode 'cause when your project is growing up Arduino IDE still too basic.
• Anyway it should remains compatible with Arduino IDE:
  • Launch script vscode2aide.sh and open project into tmp/muzio26 directory
    • it puts all fils in same directory
    • rename muzio26.cpp to muzio26.ino
    • Then it should work
