This is an art project for my GCSE that involves Arduino. It takes voice input and outputs it as randomised flashing LEDs based on the volume of the voice. HERE IS THE CODE:
int recording[200];
int micLevel = 0;
int nomore = 0;
int ending = 0;
int LEDL = 0;
int LEDS = 0;
int avail[9];
int randy = 0;
int pin = 0;
int out = 0;
int fix = 0;
int ready = 1;
int readyornot = 0;
int resist = 0;
int addition;
/* This program waits until a certian mic level is reached, record the levels of speech for
* a maximum of 10 seconds, and then flash random LEDs at the same levels of the recording...
* It's fixed now ;) This is my first real project, I guess. This should get me a fine art GCSE! Anyway:
* Writer: terrabyte_aura
* Project: Voice Your Opinion.

This is going to be part of a large canvas which I will complete in the exam on Monday/Tuesday. The only reason I'm posting this now is because I'm going to be using a QR Code in the artwork, so I need to have a link and working code before then. There will also be a YouTube video (or Vimeo) of it in action. How do you embed a video in this forum?
Also, I've attached an OK image taken on my iPod. Enjoy!
EDIT 1: Modified the code for tomorrow so that it can be calibrated based on input from A2-A5. This should counter any resistance involving the conductive paint!
EDIT 2: DONE! Here's a video: - YouTube
