=Hack The VU=

You've all noticed the giant VU Meter on the BinaryVoice FM Tower. As discussed in [[Projects:VUMeter]] it shows the audio level of the BinaryVoice FM radio station.

But it also has a network interface to control the LEDs !

You can control it over UDP via 151.216.79.11 on port 555

It has 80 LEDs of which you can set the RGB color value.

=The protocol=

Send the following message: SET:XX:RR:GG:BB to UDP port 555

* XX: the led number (from 0 to 79, bottom to top)
* RR: the HEX RED color value
* GG: the HEX GREEN color value
* BB: the HEX BLUE color value

=For example=

Sending

echo SET:39:FF:FF:FF | socat -t 0 - UDP:151.216.79.11:555

will set the middle led to white

=Notes=

Please be gentle since it is only an Arduino Uno on a small network shield. :-)

After 10 seconds of silence the tower will return to normal VU meter operation
