Shairplay and WS2801

• Kyle mounted the LEDs onto a cardboard, and packaged it to look cool.

• We thought we were done with the project, until we found out we weren’t! The LEDs all lighted up correctly, when we played the audio from a file on disk, but streaming messed something up! Only the first few columns lighted up, when we were listening on the stream.

• We spent the whole evening trying to debug the issue, and eliminated quite a few hypothesis, but weren’t able to fix it, yet.

Miscellaneous

• rntz live coded a parser for us yesterday, and I learnt a few things about parsers. I’m glad I went to the discussion/talk.

• I started working through the videos of Anatomy of Matplotlib, and hope to get new insights into how it works.

Today

• Today will be spent mostly trying to get streaming audio working.

• I feel like debugging this, will take my understanding of the hardware-software interface to a new level.
