Hi @oldlyson,

thank you for the good feedback. It's always good to hear.

The visualizer is also built on the Adafruit library, but for an arduino. It might be possible to port this to the ESP, but I'm afraid this would take too long, because I'm not so experienced with this.

The WS2812FX lib that is used by McLighting has a trigger function that could be used for sound-to-light. I did not find time to try it out yet. Mabe that could be a option for you. https://github.com/kitesurfer1404/WS2812FX/blob/master/examples/external_trigger/external_trigger.ino

Regards
Tobias

See Hyperion project https://hyperion-project.org/ I2S + WiFi + driving LEDs is pushing the limits of ESP8266, use a $5 pi zero instead. That being said @cnlohr is pushing the limits of what this chip can do https://github.com/cnlohr/esp8266ws2812i2s and https://github.com/cnlohr/colorchord

I hope that was a vote for colorchord, not for esp8266ws2812i2s :-p.

I would also like to mention this project that I find very interesting.

@schwma This is cool, but needs a separate PC or raspberry to work.

take a look on this https://github.com/mtongnz/ESP8266_ArtNetNode_v2 with a software like jinx or a DMX input you can do a lot with music.

There is also a (older) McLighting version with Artnet support available: https://github.com/toblum/McLighting/tree/mclighting_artnet

I added this to list list for possible enhancements.

I would also really enjoy the option.

BTW awesome project keep up the good work

i would like to try the old version with artnet what is different ?

Tobias Blum · Answer 11 · Sun Oct 21 2018 03:01:41 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@processor83 The artnet version is quite old. It misses some features and you may use an older version of the arduino core and libraries.

Tobias

I'been McLighting v2 for more than a year. I'm going to test the artnet version.
It's possible to implement artnet in current version?

Thanks!

It now supports E1.31 SACN protocol.

Omar Bobrow · Answer 14 · Sun Mar 31 2019 13:36:23 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

This is a very good news! So it's supposed to be able to control from Jinx.
When was added sACN support to McLighting?
