Blinkenlights

Uses the Fast Fourier Transform to display frequency spectrum on an LED matrix. It is powered by an Adafruit Feather M0 which has enough processing power to run the FFT in real time. All of the electronics fit into a 3d printed case. The visualized is based on Adafruit's Piccolo project.

3D Printed Parts

This case was printed at 0.2 mm with supports to prevent chamfered corners from lifting from the bed. Mic is held into the top with a M3 x 6 mm screw and washer. The screen holders also use M3 x 6 mm screws. The battery holders use the two M3 x 8 mm screws, but 6 mm long ones would also work. The Feather is attached to the bottom with the M2.5 hex standoffs. The two halves are then held together with the three M3 x 16 mm screws.
