CMPT 433 Final Project - LED Visualizer

Project Idea (note that the zen cape might be different between members):

• Baseline idea is to work with LEDs and to control it with hardware buttons and through the local network through UDP(embedded with react front end)
• Buttons will be the soldered joystick on the BeagleBone
• Current light mode will be stored on the EEPROM
• Change the IP config to have a static IP instead of DHCP on the WiFi dongle
• 16x32 RGB LED panel -> could do an audio visualizer RGB rainbow
• Bar audio visualizer (single color -> then progress to multi-color)
• Current time on the RGB panel
• AM/PM and 24 hr clock
• 2 claps to toggle lights on/off
• Will need to write our own audio drivers

List of parts to borrow:

• 16x32 RGB LED panel (http://www.adafruit.com/products/420)
• Microphone (https://ca.robotshop.com/products/breakout-board-electret-microphone)
  • Do we need an amp for this?
• WiFi dongle (https://www.amazon.ca/Edimax-EW-7811Un-150Mbps-Raspberry-Supports/dp/B003MTTJOY)

Milestones subject to change

February 16th Milestone 1

• Plan out modules
• Display current time on the LED board
• Use joystick and UDP to change between AM/PM and 24h clock
• Connection to local network through WiFi dongle and assign a static IP address (system configuration)

March 16th Milestone 2

• Audio drivers
• Double clap toggle on/off
• If sound is playing the lights turn on
