<div dir="ltr">hey,<div><br></div><div> saw you playing last year for Nuit Blanche. like it!</div><div>I commented in Lab discussion before, I think it was you doing an installation piece with lights working according to a respirator....?</div>
<div> anyhow. your time is tight, and you have equipped yourself with a pile of good tech to put to use for some very interesting light and sound(and limitless other possibilities)</div><div> just to give you a plan B, or simple thing to consider: led connected to an audio amplifier output flicker with the sound.</div>
<div><br></div><div> goog luck with this. we'll be set up doing sound performance as well that day. see you for a brief jam :)</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Apr 24, 2014 at 12:03 PM, Bucko <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:bucko@buckoart.com" target="_blank">bucko@buckoart.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
I've been avoiding bothering the list about this project but after two trips to the Modlab it looks<br>
like it would be beneficial to send a message.<br>
<br>
I'll be performing at the Chinatown Remixed Festival on Saturday, May 17th. I have a specific<br>
performance idea for that event. It's a zen meditation walk remixed on a technological level.<br>
<br>
I will drive along Somerset and stop every few feet. At each stop I will play a synth sound on my iphone.<br>
Sound out from it would go into a microcontroller which would trigger approximately 300 LEDs wrapped /<br>
mounted on my power wheelchair. They'll produce either a twinkling or fade light pattern.<br>
Sound from the microcontroller would then go to a portable PA mounted on my chair.<br>
<br>
Sound is played. Lights sparkle. No sound. No sparkle. I stop with each sound. Observe the moment.<br>
Move when there is silence.<br>
<br>
After last nights ModLab visit, the power source for this project is concern #1 and then #2 is<br>
controlling the lights.<br>
<br>
First thought for #2 is to use a Teensy 3.1 with Audio Shield and OctoWS2811 adaptor.<br>
<a href="http://www.pjrc.com/store/teensy3_audio.html" target="_blank">http://www.pjrc.com/store/<u></u>teensy3_audio.html</a><br>
<a href="http://www.pjrc.com/store/octo28_adaptor.html" target="_blank">http://www.pjrc.com/store/<u></u>octo28_adaptor.html</a><br>
<br>
I have collected various gear in the hopes of making this project<br>
<br>
2 x Teensy 3.1 boards<br>
2 x Teensy Audio Shields<br>
2 x OctoWS2811<br>
<br>
1 x FadeCandy - Dithering USB-Controlled Driver for NeoPixels[ID:1689]<br>
4 x 74AHC125 - Quad Level-Shifter (3V / 5V) (74AHC125) [ID:1787]<br>
<br>
1 x Octolively Kit - Warm White - Tileable Interactive LEDs[ID:729]<br>
<br>
1 x 5M WS2812B LED lights<br>
1 x 5M 5050 RGB LED lights<br>
2 x 4-pin JST SM Plug + Receptacle Cable Set[ID:578]<br>
4 x Solderless Analog RGB LED Strip Clip Sampler[ID:1004]<br>
<br>
1 x ZIPPY Flightmax 8000mAh 4S1P 30C<br>
<br>
I may need to get a different battery as I didn't realize how scary powerful the Li-Po that<br>
I got is.<br>
<br>
Any help with this project on the hardware or coding side would be much appreciated it!<br>
I'm under a tight deadline and thought it wouldn't be so complicated (famous last words).<br>
<br>
Thanks to everyone who has taken a look at this so far, especially Doug!<br>
