Therefore, I have decided to again run with this love of art and music and create what I decided should be called a &#8220;sound cloud&#8221;. This will be taking my existing experience with audio controlled LEDs and take it to a new level, adding some new challenges along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This device will consist of a box coated in cotton balls which each contain an LED. Unfortunately, such an aesthetic will likely appear to be some sort of middle schooler&#8217;s arts and crafts project until it is turned on or opened up. The inside will contain a microcontroller, power distribution, audio break outs, and a small speaker system. The rear will contain a single RGB LED to indicate status and modes. Also of note is the budget for this project will attempt to maximize quality of components as I intend on making something of lasting utility. A basic drawn explanation is shown below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"941\" src=\"http:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/lightart-d19\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/03\/proposal_diagram-1-1024x941.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/lightart-d19\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/03\/proposal_diagram-1-1024x941.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/lightart-d19\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/03\/proposal_diagram-1-800x735.png 800w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/lightart-d19\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/03\/proposal_diagram-1-768x706.png 768w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/lightart-d19\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/03\/proposal_diagram-1-326x300.png 326w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/lightart-d19\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/03\/proposal_diagram-1.png 1860w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I have already attained plenty of cotton balls as they are pretty easy to come by.
