Thanks you for your support
Cheers!
Thank you so so much it's beautiful. - I finally got to make it! Thank youu!!!
Cette accent français, super vidéo merci 👍😂
Thank you bro very nice tutorial
after 2 mins my screen becomes green :(
sorry I dont know why but now it is working! Thank you for everything I hope I will manage to code some features aswell :D
Thanks for help bro
MERCII TU ME SAUVE LA VIE GENRE JSP COMMENT TE REMERCIER JAI ABSOLUMENT TOUT COMPRIS
Great video, you talk very clearly. I have copied the same steps as you did in the video, but I'm having an issue. Whenever I connect the WS2812B led strip only the first light opens, it's always white and doesn't change. When I disconnect the power from the led it flashes red for half a second and then turns off. I have tried a lot of things but nothing has worked, do you have any idea?
Quel bel accent, merci beaucoup!
hehehe merci!
Can you show how to do the soldering in your next video
Hello!
Does the power supply need to be 5V/8A, or will it work fine with 5V/3A?
Thank you for this awesome tutorial!
Does it also work with a Raspberry Pi 3? Can I contact you via Discord for more questions?
I was wondering if it's possible to change how long each key is if the lights either stretch too far or not far enough? (I haven't recieved all the components yet, so that's why I'm asking)
If it works when the components have arrived, this is a great and clear guide :)
I tried this setup by myself but some problems occured and i'm not really sure what actually went wrong. When i powered the Pi, the display showed that light blue screen for a second and then it turned into a blackscreen. Since then the display is black the whole time and the Pi gets very very hot at the side of the charging USB port.
Most likely i did something very stupid but i need to understand the mistake i did in order to prevent further mistakes even if i have to rebuy the pi and maybe also a new power supply ^^
Also the LEDs didn't light up in the first place so this could also be another mistake i made.
So it would be very nice if you could help me out
Also how did you extend the LED? I have 2 set that need to extend.
How do you records? I can play midi and I can use learn but the record is not working.
Thanks
Thanks for the awesome tutorial! It'll definately help me making my own LED visualizer! :D I have one simple question. I'm trying to do a MIDI recording while using the LED visualizer. Since there's only one USB port in my digital piano (no MIDI port), I'm wondering how my keyboard can be connect to both my laptop and the LED visualizer at the same time. Could u give me some advice?
one way to do this would be to connect the Pi0 to your laptop using RPI (remote access through wifi), that would allow to only connect your piano to the pi0 and then the pi0 to your laptop.
i have not done it personally but there are a lot of article around setting this up. (you can start reading this, i will try to find other post i found before core-electronics.com.au/tutorials/raspberry-pi-zerow-headless-wifi-setup.html)
I have same problem, are there any ways to use a USB to host splitter or something?
Very good video! Does your programming code allow you to play Synthesia on a PC? Where is there a description of the display settings?
hi there and thanks for your comment. at the moment i have not setup the synthesia since i really just use the led part of it while i play. i am working with a friend on understand how to sync this to the computer and synthesia. Hopefully we figure it out and i can make a follow up video.
@@MusicbyAnt Hey really great video, but were you able to link the LED strip and synthesize on a computer at the same time?
Hey! Thank you a lot! I really want to make this! I have a question - I already have Raspberry Pi 3, would it work with that as well? Or I have to buy Raspberry Pi 0 wifi?
Thanks for the tutorial! It works for the most part. The only real problem I have had is that the screen will often just stay white and wont display anything.
do you think the software is rebooting ? what happens after the white scren? it may be the power that is unstable?
@@MusicbyAnt I think it was a power issue. I connected the pi to two sources of power and it started right up. Then I disconnected one of the power sources and plugged it into my keyboard and it worked fine. Weird issue lol
@@MusicbyAnt Actually it just started to not work again, no idea why. I didn't do anything different and its the same issue. I plug it in, and it stays on the white screen and never load the OS.
I have the same problem too and I've bought and offical RasPi charger. Any solution? Thanks in advice
@@ConnorSchroeder ok I could try but I have plugged Raspi into a normal screen and it stays as a rainbow color all time
Does the GPIO Extension Board in the link work with Pi Zero? I don't see pi zero in the description.
yeah that is the one i bought for my pi 0 :)
How to connect this piano in computer as a midi keyboard..??
How to setup visualiser on 61keys keyboard
it work for piano but when u have midi keyboard you still need USB/midi port for PC or mac host maybe a adapter for old MIDI port can do a job I'm not sure. ha?
First
If I order led strip 2m 144ledip67, do I have to cut it with scissors? I ordered 1m, but the length was not right because it was 88 cases.
Yes every few cm there is a cut mark you can cut there when led strip is unplugged.
@@MusicbyAnt thank you very much
I already inserted the data on the sd card and when I tested it with the lcd screen and the raspberry, the screen went blank
Hey is it possible to have displays uptop and play the notes as they come down on the screen like "real life piano tiles" ?
Do you have a screen so bit that it goes across the entire piano?
@@newlife5389 No but I could easily get 3 24inch ones to cover the entire thing
est-ce que ça marcherait avec un raspberry pi 3 b+ ? j'en possede un déjà
hello je t avoues ne pas etre certain de cela. cependant vu que c est bootable sur une micro SD si tu as une micro SD en plus, tu peux installer le PLV dessus et booter ton raspberry avec et voir si ca fonctionne. bonne chance
How much did it all cost? Wanna buy a ready-made instead..do you know where to buy?
all cost included probably 150 usd. im not sure of any solution pre-made. Maybe some youtube make it ready to ship !
woaaah ! how did you do the police lighting ? :D
i am a very strong developer !
Is it possible to go without the gpio extenter?
definitely, if you can do some soldering here and there, there are some options without it.
if you look at the link in the description (github.com/onlaj/Piano-LED-Visualizer) and scroll down, you will see that the guy solder directly the screen to the pi 0) just need a few tweaks!
Salut , mille mercis pour la vidéo , mais j'ai un soucie , j'ai fait exactement la même chose mais rien ne se passe .... Faut il absolument brancher en midi pour tester le montage ?
Merci
que veux tu dire par brancher en midi? je suis brancher en USB sur mon clavier pour ma part. tu te branches en midi/usb convertisseur?
@@MusicbyAntmerci pour cette réponse éclair ! J ai fait le montage et je voulais savoir si je dois absolument le brancher en USB pour tester le montage ?
@@borntobecr pas de souci. il me semble quand j avais lu les instructions que tu devrais pouvoir brancher du midi mais il faudra un converter du coup (midi to USB) ou juste USB. qu'as tu comme setup?
@@MusicbyAnt pour le moment je ne l'ai pas encore brancher en USB j'attend l adaptateur OTG. Mais en attendant y a t'il possibilité de tester le montage sans le brancher au piano ?
Merci
@@MusicbyAnt salut , j'ai tout branché mais ça ne fonctionne pas ... Peu tu m'aider svp ....
Wouldn't it flash eye too much tho? Im always bothered by starring at flashes directly even from these type of leds
not gonna lie, in low lights its pretty intense. i added a little black line on top glued. so the light doesnt directly goes to my face. it does the job.
Can I Use 5V 5A adaptor
Yes, but dont have all the leds permanently illuminated. 1A is enough power for 15 LEDS illuminated and 120 LEDS with 8A
Do you do a service by making this for people and sending it to them? I will happily pay you. the last person I brought one off sent me a dead unit it worked for about a month then it just stopped and never come back on. I just want a led visualiser that works properly for my channel!
not really buddy sorry! also it took me AGESSSS to get the led lights from aliexpress! lol
but if you want to do it yourself i'm happy to help you live on discord for example, we can take an hour and just go through it.
@@MusicbyAnt thanks mate I may take you up on that! I have the programming saved to my computer but I have completely no clue how to do anything like this my talent isnt electronics unfortunately😂
i've flash the sd card, but when i put in the card to the board i waited for more than 10mins still nothing happen, what i did wrong?
this may sound stupid but can you verify all the connections once again (gpio to the board), connectors etc.
if everything seems to be properly aligned, then maybe there is an issue with the flashing of the SD. What sd type/size do you use? i think there may be a limitation for the pi0 for cards that are too big (i remember reading this somewhere). i use either an 9gb or 16 gb. let me know, we can try to debug progressively !
@@MusicbyAnt can i whatsapp you everything of my set up?this is my number +60135898912
Hi, the system work now as I buy a new sd card. But my led won't work... I follow your instructions for the wiring but the led simply don't respond, not sure which part I did wrong?
me: oh yeah this is gonna be cheap it will be fine
me: wait how much does all of this cost
google: $146.04
*me: WAIT WHAT THE FU-*
Yeah .... :(
works with a 61-key piano?
I think it does not no. The only option would be to create a longer led bad and have the bar kind of adjusted on your 61 keys. It is doable but probably not aesthetically great
@@MusicbyAnt okey, thanks
How to set up a connection to Synthesia on Windows?
still working on trying to figure this out !
@@MusicbyAnt RTP MIDI (MIDI over Ethernet). For this method, you need to use some software on your Synthesia device, and both devices must be connected to the same local network. I did it with this program. She receives a midi signal via wi-fi from Raspberry.
@@cookingmom2067 damn ! thanks, i will give it a shot
bonjour je voudrai savoir si
vous savez combien de led il faut pour un piano a 61 touche svp
une led strip de 1 metre avec 144 leds devrait suffire
@@MusicbyAnt Mercii beaucoup
@@briancebokolojoue7687 however because it is meant for 88 keys, you will need to do some tweaking in the software to adjust and match the first not of your keyboard to the first led light on the strip. Should be doable though
@@MusicbyAnt ok thank you I will try
What keyboard are you using there? Model name
yamaha dgx 660 (link in the description)
Hi man! I have a problem, i have installed everything like in the video and the raspberry turns on! The led strip does not turn on (and it is not damaged because i have tested it), and how can i put midi songs...the only song is the campanella that is included! And here is the link with the conection cable : postimg.cc/gallery/Whfs0cb
I hope i`m not bothering you! Thx.
Hey Florin no bother at all. hard to debug without having the setup with me but lets try !
For the midi: do you connect to your PI through wifi? (ssh) ? i have not used this feature but I can definitely try to check on my end if that works. but when you connect to ssh you can create a "song" folder and drop your midi there. probably also access the directory from the Pi which does not seem to be visible if you just read the memory card.
For the lighting, few things
1. you 100% the connection is made in the led bar black cap ? (i removed it and twist the copper wire together on my steup) - not sure but worth trying?
2. this is the only visual difference i see between your picture and my setup: my white wire makes a V in the led head adapter while your seems to be in the led bar cap? maybe something to check on that end if you replace this connection and plug the white to the - side of the led bar cap. Let me know if you get some results with this.
if it doesn't work you can join my discord and we can connect together to solve it. discord.gg/tTSxfNfx
Ant.
Hi Ant! It was my mistake, i soldered on another pin...i`m going to try soldering again and see what happens! And with the discord i`m not going to go in because i don`t speak english very well. Ty so much
@@florincotoban7569 not a problem ! good luck my friend
Hello Ant! At this moment all good, "BUT" i forgot to tell you that i have the led strip with 88 leds and the problem is when i am pressing the first key it will illuminate the third led (here i fixed the problem with "LED STRIP SETTINGS" - "SHIFT" -2), in the "LED COUNT" i put 88 leds but nothing. The led strip lights one led yes and one led no and i understand why it will light up like this because it is designed for 176 leds! Now in my case what can i do to work each key with each led and i`m so sorry because i am so stressful!
Very good connection of cables together!
I can’t open de img
are you using a software to open it? are you on windows?
Wow... c'est aussi compliqué que ça ?? Je pensais que c'était un simple ruban led à ajouter, y a vraiment toutes ces bricoles à faire ?? Ça fait peur 😬
How much would this settup cost $$$
ANYONE
all and all i believe it cost me about 120 USD the most expensive was the led lights that were coming from oversee.
what is maybe a cheaper alternative for the raspberry pi 0 I live in Germany and it sold out here🥲
