Two strands of RGB LED strip lighting.
Includes 2 modes: passive and active.
In passive mode, the system automatically responds to the music. Red, Green and Blue on each strand correspond to 6 different frequency ranges. You can see the vocals, and different ranges of notes light up each strand with a different color. The intensity (brightness) of each color matches how loud that frequency is in the music.
In active mode, you can control the colors of lights using three buttons, like playing a trumpet or air guitar. Combinations of buttons combine colors of light.

This project was completed for a course in Embedded Systems at NSCC in the Electronic Engineering Technology program.
December 2016.
Main components:
-Arduino
-LED RGB strip lighting
-Audio input circuitry: LM386 Op-amp, electret mic
-Push buttons
-9 V battery

We're in a lab at school, so there is a bit of background noise!
