Description

A local network of single-board computer (Tessel) running Node.js & providing an API to control different kind of devices: LED tower & LED wall. This network is dominated by one main computer to control the Tessel & a web app to analyze sound using the Web Audio API. The data is transfered between the browser and the main computer using WebSockets. The LEDs are called NeoPixel from Adafruit.
