showtime is custom animation software based on parsing MIDI and lighting up LEDs in sync with various MIDI notes. the code is intended to be synched to a Raspberry Pi which hosts a webserver. the webserver can be hit over wifi where it will serve a webpage with controls or it can be hit by a separate process on the Raspberry Pi that responds to button presses on an OLED + button bonnet.
note: there are servers because button reads and LED signals are GPIO and require sudo and anything VLC-related requires not sudo, but they must be able to communicate.
- to_sync: everything that should be synched to the Pi witth the sync scripts
- busking_songs: .wav files of songs with all instrumentation included for busking
- concert_songs: .wav files of songs with keyboard parts left out for concerts
- fonts: the OLED screen library needs fonts in order to display text
- reference: example code from libraries I used
- sequences: folders with MIDI files exported from my DAW and Python scripts that contain animations depending on the MIDI files
- static: webpage and assets to be served from the Pi
- unused: idk other reference files maybe
- clear.py: turns all the LEDs off (if you stop the code in the middle of a sequence the lights will just stay on lol)
- config.py: imported file that contains the configuration used (brightness, "fps", number of pixels (LEDs), etc.)
- led_server.py: server for starting and stopping LED sequences that are in sync with songs
- parse_midi.py:
- run-locally.sh: the function that should be run by systemd so it starts automatically when the Raspberry Pi boots (it will run song_server.py)
- song_server.py: server for handling button presses, playing songs using VLC, and sending commands to the light sequence
- utils.py: has lots of (often timing related) utility functions that are used in most of the LED sequences
