Announcing the release of a new hardware project :)

A.C.I.D. (the Aural Colour Identification Device) lets you hear all the colours of the rainbow, by converting any light it receives into a unique combination of tones. It may be used as a handheld device or as an input module to other components by providing numerical data on global levels and proportions of red, green and blue light.

I’m releasing all the details of the project: source code (released under the GPL), schematics and PCB layouts (released under the Creative Commons CC-BY-NC, for any non-commercial use). Everything’s available on the project home page.


You can have look at the result in action, along with a little intro on how everything works, in this video intro:
