I've just seen the Beer commercial (Miller Lite I think) where the christmas lights all around a house were pulsed on and off to a tune by Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
**broken link removed**
Entire strings of lights would go on and off to the tune.
Any concepts on how to make this work in real life.
I envision about 30 to 50 strings which I already put out on display every year.
Driven by relays possibly. (R40-11d2-12 driven by uln 2003 perhaps)
I'm an electrician so the power side is easy.
I have some experience with PicBasic pro and 16f876 so the use of a micro is possible.
This would be a cool project for 2006.
