It's alive! My arduino is now powering a 5-metre LED light strip

August 5th, 2009

So I'm working on a not-so-top-secret project (as in, I've been telling everyone) to connect a little electret microphone through an arduino microcontroller to a set or RGB LED lights in the hope of programming them to react to my voice.

Super nerdy, but sometimes us nerds make the coolest stuff! Case in point, this quick video showing proof it's partially working (no microphone yet, that's next!):

And here's a photo of my awful breadboarding skills to go with it:
