Hardware

• Raspberry Pi

• WS2812 LED strip (taobao)

  74 pixels/m or 144 pixels/m is better, but still has some disalignment to piano keys.

  I used 74 pixels/m strip and cut it to 12~15 pixels per segment, then soldering those segments by myself for aligning led pixel to piano key one by one.

• DC 5.5*2.5MM power jack socket connector (taobao)
