Clap-o-meter with Dani García

This time we interviewed Dani García and he showed us the CLAP-O-METER he built for his show. He told us super interesting ideas on how to use it in any show: magic, theater, stand up or whatever you want!

A simple and versatile project that will allow you to have the applause of the audience under your control. Everything explained and OPEN SOURCE!

You can watch Rob Torres applause box here:

Here is a list of the materials we have used:

• Multifunction Pixel LED circuit
• Remote control
• Pixel LED string, 2 units = 20 LED dots. We only use 18 in this project
• Advanced battery holder
• Lipo battery 18650
• Lipo charger

If you use the IDEAA Lab circuit, you only have to connect the parts together. There is not much mystery.

If you want to use your own Arduino these are the connections you must make:

Remember that if you can't get all the LEDs to light it is most likely because your power supply cannot deliver enough current to power all of the LEDs.
