Background Info (Story time):
Almost 2 months ago, as of July 2023, I built a life-sized carboard cut-out of myself and discreetly set it up in my music teachers classroom as a leaving gift, I was very proud of this achievement so I put it on my social media. One of my friends saw the post and jokingly asked for one for their birthday. The life-sized one was a nightmare to build, but I figured size doesn’t matter, so I made the following.
Parts List and Lighting “Design”

Code Credits
None of the songs were coded by me however they all run off of the 1-Bit Audio principle.
My code is responsible for the operation of the UI (user interface), LEDs and the servo motor.
The servo motor and LEDs update after each tone as you might’ve been able to tell since the motor moves on beat with the music
