Arduino + Winamp charlieplexed 6X5

by Dave Johnson

March 7 2011

Ardor from arduino.cc posted a question about simplifying his charlieplexed code,  and I didn’t have a straight answer for him because I haven’t charlieplexed before.  So in order to solve this I built myself a 6×5 led array using 6 wires.  I pretty much copied Andrew Magill’s design on everything except I’m using an Arduino.

so my answer for simplifying the code was two arrays… one that would store the led location and one that would decide whether to turn it on or off. once i had that figured out then i just mixed in my code for processing the winamp data and that was it. the hardest part was trying to get a 950 micro second delay working.. on all my previous projects this wasn’t hard but for some reason this one put up a fight.

I’ll be working on a detailed tutorial later on this week.

Arduino RGB LED + Winamp

by Dave Johnson

February 14 2011

Yesterday I saw this posted by majordecibel on the arduino.cc forum. The main difference between mine and his is that i have no hardware.  I’m using the same setup as this post except I created a new mod in the SVIS.dll.

the color is on a fade loop, and the brightness is determined by the music. pretty basic code, basic enough that I was able to build it in a few hours. when the delay is below 50ms the color transitions are rough. Also in my code I have it mapped to a min value of  80. this is so that when I have the Arduino unit behind my monitor it doesn’t bug the hell out of me.

Arduino + Winamp vu meter

by Dave Johnson

February 9 2011

This is one of the pieces of code that I’ve delayed posting for a long time. For those that wanted it I’m deeply sorry that it has taken me this long.

This is a Script that really only works is you have all the pieces.

So first you need the plugin for winamp that Maceger provided to me.

http://www.macetech.com/wa502_sdk.zip

also my version is available on my download page

** for this to work you need to download and open the project in visual studio and do a search for “COM” and change it to your COM port of your computer. Then compile the dll, and put it into the  C:\Program Files\Winamp\Plugins folder ***

second you need softPWM (optional)

http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php/topic,19451.0.html

if you chose not to use it you will need to change SoftPWMSet to digitalWrite, and remove all SoftPWM code.

support topics on my project can be found at the fallowing links.

http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php/topic,40078.msg293360.html#msg293360
