What do you recommend for a homemade garland?

Question

Do it yourself

You need to make something like a garland, with diode control and music playback like .wav || .mp3 I have the basics of programming, assembly too, I think I can figure out simple diodes and a button, the question is in the hardware part, I don’t know what to do, I worked with Raspberry Pi, but it’s too expensive, I would like something a bit more complicated. Difficulties are not scary. Advise pliz

Answer 1

ATtiny85 and garland on WS2812.

Answer 2

As an option arduino + music shield + garland (you can buy ready-made somewhere in the transition and pick up rgb lines), though this option will not be the cheapest, but cheaper than Raspberry

Answer 3

harder? take FPGA) The result is much cooler, and there will be a lot of hemorrhoids while you study. But when you study, then all these arduins will no longer be absolutely interesting)

Answer 4

Hmm ... Well, the times have come)))
Once this problem was solved with the help of resistors and keys on the most common transistors. Well, who cares about hunting was taking a book from the series "solder, baby, radio" and used advanced LA3 and TM2.
