cool-light-drums

An awesome responsive light system for drums.

Bill of Materials:

• Very cool drums. Better if it are DIY with upciclyng materials.
• Arduino Nano (or any other fiiting arduino)
• 1 USB cable fitting your arduino connector.
• 2 1 Mega Ohm resistors
• 2 Piezo discs
• 2 potentiometes
• Strips of WS2812B Leds (or anny other smart addressable leds, changes in code needed).
• 1 Momentry switch
• A power bank or any other source of portble power source. Other componets needed depending of the power source.

Requirements

• Arduino IDE (I use 1.8.1)
• FastLed 3.1
• Button, by Michael Adams

Conections:

Piezo 1:

• Black to common ground
• Red to Arduino A0

Piezo 2:

• Black to common ground
• Red to Arduino A1

Resistors:

• In parallel with Piezo 1 and piezo 2

Potentiometers

• Lead A to +5V
• Lead B to commond ground
• Cursor to Arduino A3 (pot 1) and Arduino A4 (pot 2)

Button

• Side A to commond ground
• Side B to Arduino D3

Led Strips

• GND to common ground
• DIN to Arduino D6 (Strip 1) and Arduino D7 (Strip 2)
• VIN to Arduino +5v

Note that depending of the numbers of LEDs and power drawn by leds can be a bad idea power them directly from the Arduino.

Let's Play.
