Check out the latest guide from Erin St Blaine: Build a sound-reactive LED top hat with a 2d matrix, button control and WLED with Wifi control. This is a fun project that packs a huge impact. No coding required: create animations with the easy-to-use WLED interface.
Content Summary:
– The guide provides instructions on how to create a sound-reactive LED top hat using NeoPixel LEDs, a PDM microphone, and a momentary switch, with no coding required.
– It covers the wiring setup for NeoPixel LEDs, PDM microphone, and power, as well as the assembly of the top hat with LEDs, microphone placement, and button placement.
Adafruit Products Used:
– NeoPixel LEDs are used to create the light effects on the top hat. [NeoPixel LEDs](https://www.adafruit.com/category/168)
– The QT Py microcontroller is used to control the LEDs and connect the components. [QT Py](https://www.adafruit.com/product/4600)
– A PDM microphone breakout is used to make the LEDs sound-reactive. [PDM Microphone Breakout](https://www.adafruit.com/product/4346)
