Unexpected Error

[niai]

Hi been trying to get this working for a few days now, in Linux the software and hardware communicate no problem, in windows i was having a bit of an issues but it was finding the right port so I bypassed the " if ( serial.read() == Settings.BEACON_KEY )" and it seems to connect.

I cant test if it works fine in Linux as i have no input, but in Windows if i play something from my phone connected to the laptop the song can be herd when the software is running so that seems to work, only thing is the light do nothing.
Is the software meant to show a GUI because if i have "public static boolean VISIBLE = true;" all I get is a small window that i can do nothing with.

I know my arduino is working as I tested it with https://github.com/adafruit/LPD6803-RGB-Pixels I even changed the pins to use 13 and 11 and all was fine.

I don't know if you have any interest in this project anymore but it would be nice to get some help, i would like to use this for new years. Thanks.

Hey, sorry, I realize this is probably too late.

The VISIBLE = true GUI is meant to be blank, as the only GUI is one that should appear in the Windows task bar, or the Mac menu bar, as shown below:

If I recall correctly, this usually didn't work in Windows, and was just generally a pain to get any of it working in Windows. So I might stick with Linux for now if I were you, or if you have access to a Mac, definitely do that. (as it should work out of the box)

Does this menu show up for you? If so, do other patterns work that don't rely on sound?

Been busy all day so haven't had much time to look at it, that menu dose come up in Windows and in Linux changing the plugins doesn't seem to do anything in Windows and in Linux, even the solid colors. I don't have access to a Mac sadly.
Don't worry to much it would be nice to have it for tomorrow but the night will not be ruined without it.
Thanks for the reply.
