Strobe Lane (2018)

​

This was my first coding project ever, and I used Arduino for this project.

 

We were tasked to create a project using Processing and Arduino, and I decided that I wanted to do something I felt was genuinely cool and could enjoy working on! Hence, I decided that I wanted to try making a music visualiser.

​

Strobe Lane is a basic music visualizer project that displays the beats and rhythm of the music input into Processing. LED bulbs would light up in tempo according to the bass and speed of the music that has been put into Processing. To highlight the capability of the lights, I used an EDM track. The end result was a fantastic rain of colours in a dark room, similar to being in a club without the crowd.

​

For the Arduino setup for the lights, I used an Arduino UNO and basic LED bulbs of different colours.

​

For the Processing code, I made use of Minim Library and Beatwrite to help me detect the music's beat and send the signals to the lights. It took quite a bit of trial and error, but I felt extremely happy for pulling this off when everyone gazed in wonder when my LED lights lit up the room according to the EDM music I chose.
