Audio Visualizer with ws2811

[PaulStoffregen]

But now i get a major lag in the Processing screen and also the strip lighting up. i will post some code but can someone tell me why this is happening?

Not without seeing the code...

Completely forgot to post the code! sorry!

Processing:

void setup(){
String portName = "/dev/tty.usbmodem8061";
myPort = new Serial(this, portName, 57600);
}

void draw(){
if (bassAvg > 100) myPort.write(1);
    else myPort.write(0);

}

Arduino IDE:

void loop() {
 if (Serial.available()) { // If data is available to read,
 val = Serial.read(); // read it and store it in val
 }
 if (val == 1) { // If hit was received
 colorWipe(PINK); // turn the LED on
 } else {
 colorWipe(0); // Otherwise turn it OFF
 }
 //delay(100); 
 }

Also... I used the serial library to blink the led on the teensy whenever a 'hit' is registered and it worked fine

I have fixed the issue with one line of code:


if (!leds.busy())leds.show();

And now I have a functional visualizer.

Good to hear you got it working, upload a video when it starts to look cool.
