DC15 Badge Hack: Audio Line-Level Meter and Rap Song

From the DEFCON 15 Badge Hacking Contest. The winning contest entry by Team Osogato (Len Sassaman, Meredith Patterson, Dustin Cooper, Martin Murray, Tongen, and Maxinux). The team hacked the badge into a line-level meter for under $10 in additional components that used the LED matrix to display the peak levels of an audio signal fed into one channel of the A/D. The two capacitive sensors are used to adjust the levels of the input signal and three shades of "greyscale" are used to create a fading effect on the display. For the icing on the cake, the team worked with The Brothers Grimm to create a rap song based on my (Joe Grand's) Ode to the DEFCON Badge poem that appeared in the DEFCON program.
