Pimpkin

Node.js app (along with some suplementary sound files) to control few LEDs and play said sound files. Primary application: to make a Halloween pumpkin scarier! >:>

Getting started

Get the code

Clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/VipSaran/pimpkin.git
cd pimpkin

Things to configure (in `blink.js`)

GPIO pins used to control the LEDS:

var gpioPin1 = 18; // header pin 18 = GPIO port 24
var gpioPin2 = 22; // header pin 22 = GPIO port 25

Various timings:

var interval = 100; // blinking interval (in ms)
var pause = 5000; // delay (in ms) between consecutive scareThem (after the sound has finished)
var duration = 300000; // duration of the "show" (in ms)

Want to randomly play the sound files? Change the default:

var soundOrderRandom = false;

Volume on Pi

My Pi had a really low audio output volume when I started testing the sound files. This is how you can easily configure it in shell:

alsamixer

All configured now?

Run the app:

node blink.js

Need more details!

Sorry. The code should speak for itself (and it should be a short speech).
