About

I'm a bit of a cheapass. You might know me from adding both motion detection and 10-bit volume control to Arduino with NO components.

this thing is awesome. buy it.

For Sensory Bridge // An Advanced LED Music Visualizer

Waited through two restocks and instant sellouts to get my hands on one and it was worth the wait.

I just got it hooked up with a WS2812B strip and power, no fancy configurations yet. just plugged it in, turned on some music, and started fiddling with the knobs.

it blew me away.

I've been stuck in govee land for a long time, and the nuances and smooth animations of sensory bridge, even with zero configuration, make govee look like the 3 channel Christmas lights color organ I made in 7th grade shop class.

can't wait to add some longer led strings and dig into the settings and config more!

Met my (admittedly high) hopes!

For Sensory Bridge // An Advanced LED Music Visualizer

Sensory Bridge is a joy to use. Shipped with the 3.1.0 firmware, which appears to be a fairly robust update (based on version history).

Since the mini-masts were not an option, I chose to use Adafruit's "Ultra High Density DotStar LED PCB Bar" (for the native 128 LED matching of Sensory Bridge), with a few other options as a back-up.

Instant gratification upon inserting the LED bar and powering up.
The "Noise"-cancellation works a treat, and the performance / responsiveness of the Sensory Bridge, its physical control knobs OR the web-based settings page is inspiring.

Final thoughts: the product seems constructed well, and I am now an eager fan; I am waiting to see the next features, but completely satisfied with the current state.

(P.S. -- communication through Tindie and Twitter was quick and painless. Thanks, Connor.)

Of 4, one failed. No response over 3 months from seller

For Sensory Bridge // An Advanced LED Music Visualizer

I like the effects but there is not support.
I have tried to return the failed unit with
over 10 emails, yet no response.

I'm loving it and you will too!

For Sensory Bridge // An Advanced LED Music Visualizer

Tldr: If you like music and flashing lights you won't be disappointed.

Let me start off, by saying that I often have music running in the background, while I'm working, relaxing or playing games.
At the time of writing this review, I've had my unit for about 2 weeks and I regularly find myself just getting lost in watching the colors and fiddling with the settings. And not just me, I've had members of my family asking me about it and making me play specific songs so they could see the light show it produced.

Another really cool thing is the fact that both the hardware and software are open source. Now, I get that this might not be a big deal to a lot of people, but if you're like me and like to check out the inner workings of a design, or even go one step further and build your own unit, all of this is possible! Now, granted some of the documentation could be improved a bit, such as schematics or the addition of a bill of materials, to make part sourcing easier.

Communication with the seller was also great! When I asked about the release of the Rev.1.1 PCBs, because I wanted to build myself a second unit, he immediately provided me with the design files and instructions on how to update the firmware to get access to new features like syncing of multiple units.

So if you couldn't tell by now, I really like my Sensory Bridge and can't wait to have a second unit!
