![]() ![]() As a drummer, she wants the drums to blink colored lights when she hits a drum, for entertainment and a wow factor.New version using Trinket Pro, added an animation mode button, and a knob/potentiometer to control sensitivity of piezo sensor Testing sensor sensitivity and code changes The second iteration uses adafruit trinket pro and includes a potentiometer to provide the user the ability control the sensitivity of the piezo sensor on the fly w/o additional programming, and powered via a switching power supply instead of the usb input. ![]() We are currently working on an upgraded version of it. We finished the first version of the project and very happy how it worked out. I thought about this later but just went ahead with one trinket per drum/cymbal. You could probably use fewer trinkets if powering from an external source instead of USB. Con(s): Expensive, when making one for every drum/cymbal in the set.Pro(s): This is a great arduino learning project and will be awesome when implemented.If you have not yet, make the change to PlatformIO with VSCode. I'm so glad I did! PlatformIO is night and day better than the Arduino IDE. I was not aware of PlatformIO when I orginally started this project and stumbled opon it. Note: I originally used the Arduino IDE for this project but switched to PlatformIO for VSCode when I updated/refactored the project for use with an Adafruit Trinket Pro 5v instead of the regular Trinket 5v. This is our project we setup for us to take it from concept to reality. My daughter and I added interactive leds to her drum set for fun and a learning experience. ![]()
