Description

This kit lets you build a sound-controlled psychedelic RGB LED bar. Fitted with 11 RGB LEDs and a small microphone capsule, the system responds automatically to the surrounding sound, voices and music included. The 10 RGB LEDs light up and run from left to right, creating beautiful light shows, while the eleventh flashes on and off. The speed at which these LEDs move is synchronised with the beat of the music or with the voices and noises around, picked up by the microphone capsule. This RGB LED bar can be used, for example, inside a portable stereo, but also as part of a toy or as decoration for shop windows and supermarket counters.
