Light Show Pi Project (Part 1). Setup for beginners.

1 year ago

Light Show Pi is a project meant for the use of controlling lights synced to music. The project has been the same since around 2019 and doesn't seem to work with the latest version of the Raspberry Pi (Bookworm as of 11/4/2023). This video will show a beginner how to set up a Lightshowpi after a clean install of the legacy OS (Bullseye). I have confirmed this method on a Raspberry Pi 2B and a Raspberry Pi 4B.

Materials needed to walk through this video:
- Raspberry Pi
- USB-C power supply, preferably up to 4 amps (You'll see why in the video)
- AUX headphones or speakers
- Ethernet connection (Raspberry Pi 4B has built-in Wi-Fi if you prefer)
- Micro HDMI to HDMI cable (RasPi 4B) or HDMI cable (RasPi 2B)
- Monitor
- Keyboard
- Mouse

Software used:
- Raspberry Pi Imager https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/
- TigerVNC https://tigervnc.org/
