Web based control of the Xbox Rockband Stage Kit using NodeJS
I created this in hopes of entertaining guests at party I hosted during the Christmas holiday. I had an old Xbox Rockband Stage Kit laying around that I was hoping I could use independently of the Xbox. This app basically allows you to run the Xbox Rockband Stage Kit (Light/Strobe/Fog Machine) using any Linux distribution running NodeJS. Its web based, so I can be controlled using any device using a web browser (supports mobile phones too).
The Node.js backend was hosted on a Raspberry Pi 2 with good great results. Due to the time crunch of working on this two days before the holiday, this is probably not considered full featured release. Also, there may be a few commands/code I did not implement or failed implement correctly. Doesn't matter, however, my goal was achieved and my party was a huge success. The Rockband kit added an element to the party that took things up a notch or two.
Any Linux Distro (probably windows too with a little bit of work)
NodeJS (and npm depdenancies)
