  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale

  • FastLED

    The FastLED library for colored LED animation on Arduino. Please direct questions/requests for help to the FastLED Reddit community: http://fastled.io/r We'd like to use github "issues" just for tracking library bugs / enhancements.

  • No problem, it's all controlled using an Arduino and the code was mostly written myself. I use the FastLED library (https://github.com/FastLED/FastLED) to control the lights, as they require a signal with very specific timing.

  • arduino_midi_library

    MIDI for Arduino

  • For MIDI, I've tried to use the Arduino MIDI Library (https://github.com/FortySevenEffects/arduino_midi_library) and although it did work, the performance quickly degraded with fast notes or multiple MIDI channels. So I made the MIDI receive code myself. It wasn't too hard, just reading hex data from the serial port.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
