Hey all,
I want to control some led's which are reacting on the music. I don't have to hardware to make some filters nor the special msgeq7 chip.
The solution is to process the music on my computer. Second I'm not a good programmer so I try to work as much a possible with examples.
I started with processing but it was a pain in the ass to get my serial communication to work and after that I could not get processing to listen to my music. I had to configure the record input which I did but still it was not working. I'm not sure if this has to do with windows 7 64bit.
Then I found the software DMX Music Visualization "DMX Music Visualization". Even better, all the options you have to control up to 10 channels free. Really cool. My preference is to send the data over ethernet so artnet was the next step. And again I found an example http://vvvv.org/contribution/artnet-arduino-set-v3. Plain and simple an arduino as artnet node (v3).
The trouble now was I could get 2 channels to work but there was a noticable lag, in the software it was possible to set a delay so I had set it to 0 but still it was to noticable. The 3th channel was always on while in the dmx512 output window this was low.
So I thought why not try via serial but all examples I find are serial to dmx with using the microcontroller or the arduino as master dmx or as slave dmx.
Does any one have some idea's because the software looks really cool or if not any other solutions?
Thanks
