  • I guess I missed this as the file is no longer available. Glad that something I made inspired you, Scott.

  • You're welcome. I did do that as well, but I don't know if that also contributed to getting things to work. I did that before I did the chown, and after doing the chown was when I noticed a difference.
  • Cool. This was on my list of ideas to try. It would be cool to see other sorting algorithms visualized too.
  • Nice shots, espcially M. Bison. There are some techniques to make the painting a bit cleaner. You can edit the files to add some black dead space in the leading edge of the image, so that you can get up to full walking speed and maintain a consisten…
  • Thanks. Yeah, it seems like a cool thing to add. I got a Fadecandy controller board recently, which was made to do dithering; it does make great looking color fades. I thought it'd be fantastic if my BlinkyTape was able to do that too with this new …
  • You're welcome. I shared this in hopes that it would encourage other people to make and share their own creations. I'm a bit disappointed there isn't more stuff on here already. I want to see more stuff for inspiration and to take ideas from.
  • @Threeethan I can email you the source I have if you guys want to clean it up or rewrite it. It is in awful spaghetti code right now. It had been a while since I had used C and hadn't remembered how to use structs. I did things in a roundabout way t…
  • Thanks for sharing! I want to see more of what people have created. The intensity of the lights seem to fluctuate unnaturally quickly with the music. You could try making the decay of the lights, the falloff, a bit slower to make the animation a bi…
  • I found this free Windows utility to delay Windows audio in 100ms increments to help sync music to the DiscoParty animation: Radio Delay: http://www.daansystems.com/radiodelay/ I can't fully vouch for the safety/security of the software, but it se…
  • @Threeethan Thanks! You're welcome. @amarfresh Yeah it is. I've ported this shimmer program to an Arduino version and it works great. I'm sure it can do much more complicated stuff as this takes up less than half the available memory. The code is s…
  • Yeah I keep both programs open. This is what my workflow has been: - update code in Arduino IDE - switch to Pattern Paint window - hit "Connect" button - hit "Save to Tape" button - switch back to Arduino IDE window - hit Arduino IDE upload button …
  • I was having difficulty with the christmas lights example specifically. After looking at that code more, I understood what Threeethan meant about the button being polled rather than listened to as an interrupt. That code only polls the button once e…
  • @amarfresh Used the bacon image last night. I'm surprised it worked decently without a diffuser http://www.flickr.com/photos/digitalaudiotape/11432919036/
  • Matt, for me PatternPaint seems to work independent of whichever USB port I plug into on my Windows laptop
  • I've noticed the COM port changes depending on what port you plug it into, and it also changes sometimes for no reason on my computer. It has ranged from 8 to 15. I use Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. This has caused DiscoParty to work intermittently…
  • I figured out the problem by looking for a similar function call in ColorSwirl example code. I had to change line 38 from this: LEDS.addLeds(leds, LED_COUNT); to LEDS.addLeds(leds, LED_COUNT); It seems HTML stripped out the part It also see…
  • The code still doesn't seem to work for me. This is the Arduino IDE error outpit when I try to compile: ChristmasLights.ino: In function 'void setup()': ChristmasLights:38: error: no matching function for call to 'CFastSPI_LED2::addLeds(CRGB [60], …
  • I tried to run this code, but it didn't seem to work. I notice there are 2 empty include lines at the top. Could those be missing something?
  • Soundergumi, these look fantastic. Can't wait to try them. Thanks for sharing.
