I hope I can see people redoing and re purposing this project for their own uses in their own spaces. That is why I decided to make my own tutorial and share it with any clubbers, makers or technicians. I did not find many projects or documents for a lighting system used in that purpose. This project is meant for people with sufficient knowledge of Microcontrollers (Teensy 3.2), Addressable LEDs, Embedded systems and basic knowledge of using Ethernet to transfer Data. The file is attached in this link from MadMapper website.
#MADMAPPER LED HOW TO#
Uses a Projection Mapping software to sync it with the music/BPM, do effects with it, and use it simultaneously with a projector for the visuals Īfter long research I found a document from a projection mapping software called MadMapper explaining how to connect a Teensy 3.2 Microcontroller with the software over Art-Net. Works over long distances with minimal interference Įasy to repair (when needed) by 3rd parties.This tutorial is also for them in order to troubleshoot and understand any part of the system when needed. Thus, it is mostly operated by The UNION team when Im not there. I don't live in Palestine where this system is being used. I made sure that those problems should be solved by having the following points on mind: Max Distance without data interference or noticeable voltage drop was 10m from the Mikrocontroller and 4m from the power supply įor those reasons, we decided to build version 2.0 of this system.The system was hard to change physically and hard to transport since all the cables were soldered for the measured lengths.Not being flexible there were a fixed amount of effects pre-programmed and they could be changed manually by interrupting a loop.The system was based on WS2812B addressable LEDs running on a loop and powered by an Arduino Mega, the effect could be changed by pressing a button on the control console. In 2018 I made the first version of this low budget club lighting system for a New Years Eve Party in Ramallah Palestine with my collective The UNION, more about the story and the collective at the end of this article.
