Started Spotify Matrix Project

Overview

I’m working on a 64x64 LED matrix that will display the currently playing song from my Spotify account. The project will be powered by an ESP32, which will handle API requests to extract song details and display the song’s album cover on the matrix.

Features

• WiFi Connectivity – The ESP32 will connect to the internet via WiFi.
• WiFi Manager – A custom WiFi manager will allow easy network setup.
• Web Server for OAuth – Since Spotify requires authentication, a small web server will run on the ESP32 for OAuth authentication.
• HTTP Requests & JSON Parsing – The ESP32 will fetch song data and extract relevant details to display on the matrix.
• LED Matrix - Matrix that displays the song’s cover with 64x64 resolution.

Planned Expansion(s)

• Mobile/Web App – An interface to configure:
  • LED matrix settings (brightness, colors, etc.)
  • Spotify account linking
  • WiFi configuration
• Encasing - An encasing for production and aesthetics

Tech Stack

• ESP32 for processing
• 64x64 LED Matrix for displaying the song’s cover art
• Spotify API for fetching song data
• Webserver (ESPAsyncWebServer) for OAuth handling
• VSCODE / PlatformIO for development

Next Steps

🔧 Set up WiFi manager
🔧 Start implementing Matrix functionality
