Abstract: Using a basic microcontroller or maybe digital signal processor (DSP), one would program it to run a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) application on microphone input. User would set thresholds for an array of LEDs (different colours) to switch on and off when a given frequency range at a >= level was reached within a set time. This would then trigger LEDs to match the “mood” or “tone” of the music or audio coming into the micro. Maybe added a smoke machine/firecrackers for better effect? … |

Abstract: To really get to know the inter-workings of a “common” computer at the machine level. One can make/do very cool things using assembly with DOS (FreeDOS of course!), a parallel port, a COM port and even the video display! This would prelude into building some devices (via parallel port or even PCI bus) and controlling them using DOS in ASM. |
