Abstract
The present invention pertains to a customizable electronic, mobile or other device connection having a dock, plug in, or other communication (including wireless) that communicates between devices which generate music or other type of communication, or that has its own storage capacity for such music or other communication; such device thereafter signaling to a light source, such as a holiday light strand, certain phases, impulses, signals to such lights to create a visual effect having causal connection to light patterns with the music or other audible or sub-audible communication.
Claims2
A programmable electronic device for use with one or more holiday light strands comprising:
- a controller having ports, peripheral connections, bus and power connectors, heat sinks and mounting points, supporting chipset for CPU, bus and external components, BIOS, memory sockets for RAM, ROM and cache, and interconnecting circuitry;
- an asynchronous serial port for the auxiliary input of audio signals that permits the controller to receive data, which is connected to the controller;
- an audio speaker connected to the controller.
- a wireless receiver module having integrated EEPROM, configurable operating modes and parameters, interfacing with the controller;
- a power supply providing electricity to the controller and other components;
- a power switch;
- a volume switch;
- an AC output unit to supply electrical connection to holiday light strands, such AC output unit being modulated synchronously to the music rhythm by the controller;
- a housing unit to encapsulate the foregoing.
