Hiii! I'm Priyanshu ð
High school tech guy, terminal lover, and builder for Hack Club's StarDance Competition!
Welcome to my official project site! I made this page with raw HTML, CSS, and like 10 lines of JavaScript. No React, no frameworks, just vibes and whatever I remembered from CS class lol.
My desk at 2:30 AM during StarDance build week ð
(yes those are Cheetos and glowing RGB wires)
ð ïļ What is my StarDance Project?
Project codename:"StarDance-Sync-v1.ino"
For the Hack Club StarDance competition, I wanted to combine sound-reactive hardware with rhythm synchronization! It's an ESP32 microcontroller hooked up to 60 addressable WS2812B LEDs and an electret microphone that pulses colors to the beat of whatever song is playing.
ð§ Brains
ESP32 NodeMCU (bought with pocket money)
ðĄ Lights
60x WS2812B RGB NeoPixel Strip
ð§ Sensor
MAX9814 Audio Auto-Gain Mic module
ðŧ Code
C++ on Arduino IDE + FastLED library
â ïļ Things that went wrong while building this:
- Accidentally reversed 5V and GND on day 1 (smelled like burnt plastic, RIP first diode ðŠĶ)
- Code crashed whenever the bass hit too hard (fixed by adding a random 1000uF capacitor I found in my drawer)
- Forgot semicolon on line 42 and stared at screen for 45 minutes
- ~~Sleep 8 hours~~ Drink cold iced coffee
