Video Beats v5 Source Code?

urbster1

Hello! I recently purchased (believe it or not) a Propeller P8X32A and a Gadget Gangster Quick Proto. I built the Video Beats circuit according to this tutorial and this video but the GadgetGangster website is down, the Internet Archive doesn't have it, and any contact with the author has not resulted in a response.

I was able to find a few variations of the software, here and here. I tried the first example provided by the same author as Video Beats, which generates video, but does not respond to audio. I assume this is related to the software but I can't tell for sure

Line 88 of pixelmusic_demoboardconverted.spin contains the comment

'start the adc object

with nothing following it, so I assume it's not actually grabbing any audio signal from the board.

I'm about 95% sure I've assembled the circuit correctly, but I'd be willing to take a picture if someone could help me out.

If anyone has the source or is willing to provide help, it would be greatly appreciated!

Welcome to the forums!

Unfortunately, Nick, (GadgetGangster), has been MIA for a few years. He designed some awesome stuff.
Could you include the latest software that you have tried, either in a zip file or post it here with the CODE tags?

I have a GG Proto around here somewhere, but it will take a few days to find it.

Sure! You can actually find it in that first link. But I'll attach the zip here too.

I should also mention, I found this version as well: https://forums.parallax.com/discussion/115645/muzak-visualizer-pixel-music-for-demoboard

It looks like these versions require Brad's Spin Tool to compile properly.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Edit: I realized the ADC code for sigma delta is included in the zip. So it looks like it just needs to be corrected to use pins 24 and 25. I made that change but I'm still not able to get it to respond to music properly. But I'll keep finagling with it and see if I can't get something to happen.

OK I actually figured it out!

Looky what I found at Adafruit - https://blog.adafruit.com/2012/04/26/new-product-propeller-quick-proto-kit-add-on-for-quickstart-boards/

UNFORTUNATELY, it is not available, in spite what the page says.
