Flashy Lamp Thing

A fork of Christian Scheb's Sound-To-Light-OSC, customised for remote GPIO in place of OSC.

"Real-time detection of beats with Python from an audio input device (typically 'Stereo Mix')"

🎥 YouTube Livestream Involving This Project

I received this lamp as apart of a secret santa and have loved it ever since. It's internal electronics are really simple, allowing me to do this project without risking the lamp (or my life I guess).

Notes

• Built for use on Windows & Linux as I need this to run on a Raspberry Pi 4
• This project is tailored to my personal needs, therefore, there may be some weird code
• The removal of OSC does sort-of kill the point of the original repo, however, I'm using remote GPIO as I'm using a Raspberry Pi 4 for light control and it's the easiest way to implement it

Required modules

• PyAudio (If installation fails, try installing pipwin then using pipwin install pyaudio)
• PyQt5
• matplotlib
• scipy

Execution

Simply run either from the commandline or directly

beatDetector.py - Runs normally, with console and GUI

beatDetectorNoConsole.pyw - Just runs with the GUI
