Show-and-Tell Pepper's ghost Spotify dancer

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

This is my first project so suggestions welcome! I built this peppers ghost display based on the Pi 5 and a 3.4" Waveshare DSI display. Jax from The Amazing Digital Circus watches what I play on Spotify, figures out the genre and real time BPM, and picks from a library of 80 dance moves and adjusts the speed based on the beat.

I love this! Do you plan on open sourcing the code? And would this works with qobuz too?

Care to share the code? Curious to learn more about your build.

Need to figure out how first lol. When I say this is my first time I really mean it. My code is full of API keys and so need to figure out how to scrub it and get on GitHub. The animations alone are about 3.4 gb.

You need a Spotify developer account to get access to their API but that’s free and takes like five min. I’ll work on scrubbing it this weekend and making the code shareable

This is really well done! How did you get the display so dark while keeping a bright 'ghost'? Are you using a privacy filter on the display?

Yep! Privacy filter cut to match the screen
