That's right! Also, we're building in a higher-level language to describe lighting effects to music, so you can share a particular "mood" consisting of a song and the light-response presets.

I'm really excited to be working on a platform for light and sound control in the home -- there are no other open-source options for home automation with this kind of audiovisual integration. I think the plan to support as many home automation systems as possible is a great integrative approach.

cool stuff. we may be running another contest soon, focused on the west coast to give away prototypes. sign up for our announcement list or email us via the website.

OK> It's a light that you can program over USB using the Arduino IDE. There is already a library/api in development so you can say "light.rgbSend(0x8000,0,0,0xFFFF);" and it will create bright white with half-on red (notice the 16-bit color resolution--not just 0-255).

The microphone input will have software frequency binning so you can--say-- trigger green whenever you hear a bass drum in the music.

Correct. There are a ton of examples already and it's programmable like any Arduino is. What I'm wondering about is what the curriculum goals are in different districts.

i totally agree kordless, more mykis set up in white mode would have been good front lighting :)

Hey does anyone have any ideas for integrating these into a computer science curriculum?

Depends on if you're an artist, or hacker. It greatly simplifies the process of making high-powered LEDs that respond to music. Also, if you buy ~10 you'll be helping a student somewhere because when these are made, a portion are being given away to schools.
