Hello,
I want to build a LED Stripe trigger (using a Piezo) for my drumset.
I´m researching in this topic for quiet a while now, but i´m new to this whole microelectronics stuff, and everything i found wasn´t that what i needed, or i couldn´t understand it (i also know there are some simmular posts to this one in the forum, but like is said i couldnt understad it), so i would be grateful if you could explain/help me in a very "basic" way
The project:
I want to build a LED Trigger for my drums, which lights up the drum each time i hit it, but i also want to use 3 potentiometers to control the color, sensitivity and the duration the led is lighting up, and there is my problem. i dont know how to set up everything. So i would need a parts list or something (even for resistors, mosfets, capacitors etc...) and a basic, or easy to understand scematic, so i can wire all that stuff together.
I already bought:
a LED strip (WS2812B) with 60LED´s/m and 1meter length
an Arduino UNO R3
a Piezo, used in E-Drum Triggers (EPZ-27MS44W)
and a Breadboard
so still need some jumpercables, resistors, potentiometers and the things i dont know about, like capacitors or something :´)
I also want to use a battery (or Powerbank or something ), to make everything portable, and as small as possible, so i can put the controller on the side of my snaredrum.
It would be awesome if you guys could help me out
