singing Karaoke Fish Jingle Bells, toyhack Arduino + vvvv

Everybody knows "Al´s Dancing Fish" or the so called "BIG MOUTH BILLY BASS". We did a toyhack so that we can control the three motors inside the fish seperatly with the microcontroller board Arduino (www.arduino.cc). Via the visual programming software vvvv (vvvv.org) we could read the Equalizer Data of a mp3 file. The bass controls the body and the tail fin is controlled by the highs. The microphone output is responsable for the mouth movement. All the data out of vvvv is transfered to Arduino which forwards the signals to the motors inside the fish...
