For the software, I am going to use the popular "Processing" language. Basically, the software analyzed the output of the internal mic, detects the beats and signals individual LEDs connected to the Arduino.

Led Controller Update
Tonight I got some work done on the electronics side of things. I am going to use an Arduino to control the lights. An Arduino is a programmable microcontroller that can be controlled with a computer. I have managed to get it to flash three single LEDs to the beat of music.
For the software, I am going to use the popular "Processing" language. Basically, the software analyzed the output of the internal mic, detects the beats and signals individual LEDs connected to the Arduino.
I am also starting to develop the controller for the final setup. I am going to use LED car tail-lights for my lights and I am going to use a ULN2003 driver chip to switch the LEDs on and off.
