Hello,
I'd like to submit a project that I recently completed.
This project uses a laser pointer and a couple of motors with attached mirrors to display patterns (lissajous figures) that are in sync with music. The audio data is processed by a Python script that extracts frequency information, converts that to motor pulses and send it to the Arduino (clone) via the serial interface.
I have a complete write-up here, which also has a video:
