Output to LED plugin

[kunzy]

Ok, had a thought and want to do this project. But i downloaded the SDK and looked over some of the examples and am a bit overwhelmed.

I would like to basically make a color organ of sorts. Or even just an LED VU. I have an amount of circuit knowledge and a bit of C++ in me. I just need a bit of help.

I have a microcontroller that i am going to use on COM1 and it will control some LEDs. I just need a way for winamp to tell the LEDs what to do. I have not written the code for the microcontroller yet so that is all open for change still.

Any insight that you can offer would be appreciated, i only ask that if you post code, you do some commenting on it in case i want to modify it later.

Thanks a ton

Ok, i got alot of this figured out. But i just need a little bit more to work with.

I looked at the vis plugin in the SDK. It has the 3 modes/modules.

I am wondering, what functions does winamp call in a plugin? What information in passed? what data is in the waveData and spectrumData arrays?

it works with XP without errors with the last winamp version 5.xxx, i have the code if u want to get it. email me, now i want to use a pic o something i dont know a lot whit circuits but i know a lot of c++
