I got the E1.31 protocol implemented to the Razer SDK in my project. Forget what the protocol is called but I know there's a network protocol it can use. I know there's a project to do that already but I don't know if it integrates LED strips or can run on Linux.

Run KV on a PC or RasPi and have it export all connected devices, LED strips and peripherals alike, as channels to be driven by external light software. They're really bright compared to other Christmas lights due to the spacing.Įdit: Now I got the idea in my head to add some sort of receiver to Keyboard Visualizer to act as a Vixen 3 (or other lighting software) client. The ones around the door are the WS2812B strips like I used on my PC setup. Maybe I can integrate Chroma into it somehow as well. I need to plan ahead to set up more lights next year (had some on order for the other roof but it was freezing by the time I got them). Didn't know they existed until I saw posts on a Christmas lighting forum. I ended up buying the ESP8266 wireless microcontrollers so that next year I can use those for Christmas rather than running USB cables everywhere. Ultimately I just made a simple pattern and let that run continuously on loop. Unfortunately, I only got halfway through sequencing one TSO song before it got mega cold and frozen outside and the cold screwed up the Arduinos for some reason (the lights would just lock up).

I used my same Arduino code to drive WS2811 LED lights (50 LED bulbs per string). Originally I was going to modify some Christmasy effects into Keyboard Visualizer and use that, but I decided to try doing an actual choreographed light show instead using the Vixen 3 software. I wanted to do a complete light show for Christmas synchronized to music. Keyboard Visualizer is generating the effects and sending them to Chroma devices and LED strips, not the other way around. We cannot synchronize third party LEDs with existing Chroma applications without modifying them. Note that right now, we only have the ability to synchronize Chroma peripherals with third party applications that also synchronize third party LEDs. The best part about WS28xx LEDs is they're super cheap on eBay along with Arduino boards, also available as Christmas light style strings as well.Įxamples of effects generated by Keyboard Visualizer: I've had one behind my monitor for a while, recently added one to my other desk behind my laptop, and today I installed a split LED strip (top and bottom) inside my case.

I've created a tutorial video explaining what kind of LED strip you need and how to wire it up/load the code/configure Keyboard Visualizer. It synchronizes the RGB strip with Chroma devices to the pattern you select in the Keyboard Visualizer app (and of course, if you play music, flashes them to music). I've implemented RGB strip support with an Arduino in my Keyboard Visualizer program.
