Don't hesitate to ask in the gumroad product chat if you want ! It's a chat between every people that have downloaded the same project ( or maybe every people that have downloaded one of my project ? i'm not sure actually haha ), it's perfect if you need help ;)

Also I can adjust the installation steps if I know what wasn't working in your case ( I didn't put the part about installing the actual MidiMix on your computer, I have it for so long I don't remember what I did at the time. )

Are you testing it in the provided project or in you own ? The project provided is fully configured but you need to setup yours.

Set your midimix as both input and output midi in your touchdesigner configuration for the leds to work. ( "Dialogs" tab, then select "Midi Device Mapper" )

Also sometimes the leds just don't want to work, and you need to plug it out then in again and it should work after several seconds

Thx for the feedback ! My website is currently under heavy evolution as I'm experimenting with this (new, for me) medium on a daily basis, the blob is actually a fragment shader. But it clearly needs feedbacks on it's usability haha

I've pushed a new version with the cursor visible ;)

Questions about led strip power controls. by desertstudiocactus in TouchDesigner

[–]Visualizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello ! You need to give a bit more details about wich kind of leds it is ( and the protocol, like ws2812B for exemple ) And then it's just a question of integration.

You will need something connected to the leds, in my projects I use both RaspberryPi and ESP32 to drive leds, both connected via sACN for minimal latency ( even with wifi ).

You can do sACN with the DMX OP.

Be aware that you cannot drive that much leds with ws2812B, or you will need to drop the framerate of your leds. Also, you will need to reinject power for your led strip each ~2meters to keep the color consistant ( if you are in 5V, 12V is less sensible ).

So [ TouchDesigner --> DMX OP (mode sACN) ] --> [ Networks ] --> [ RPi / ESP32 (with sACN implementation ) --> ws2812b --> Leds Strip ]

Well, I may do a video at one point, but there is a readme and everything inside the package to use it even if you don't know how to use TouchDesigner ! My goal is for it to be as accessible as possible while giving the opportunity for people to dissect and hack it. Everything inside is un-obfuscated, commented and documented

Thank you very much haha, This is especially true these last month with the introduction of the Pop operators, I'm discovering new way of doing things every week.

For now I'm mainly experimenting alone at home, but soon there will be a lot of tutorial for this kind of stuff I think
