I wanted to play around more with micro-controllers and love music! So as a personal project, I took an Arduino Uno along with LED lights and programmed them to play in-sync with the music. The interesting part was formatting the Arduino to run Java instead of its usual C. I was able to upload the 'Firmata' firmware, which allowed me to use another application called 'Processing' to run Java on the Arduino. It was a neat learning experience. From here, I used existing libraries to upload a sound file that would sync with the LED lights when the code was run on the Arduino.
