Explore the integration of Arduino Neopixels with TouchDesigner in this 34-minute tutorial video. Learn to create interactive candle effects on Arduino and establish a connection between TouchDesigner and Arduino using Serial communication. Begin with setting up a basic connection to the Adafruit Circuit Playground Express, then progress to generating content in TouchDesigner that can be mapped to the Arduino's onboard LEDs. Dive into topics such as setting up inputs on the Arduino side, creating generative effects with pixels, implementing LED strip code, and adding visual effects. Gain practical knowledge on interfacing these technologies for interactive and immersive experiences, with step-by-step guidance through each stage of the process.
