The Musixel is a board designed to interpret the frequencies in music or sounds and generate a light-show on up to 64 addressable LEDs. The Musixel has a few modes built-in, one of them is a 'Graphic Equalizer' styled visualizer that is more than just a little cool. In this project it runs an 8x8 matrix for a stunning visual in time with your music.
For this version of the Musixel BoomBox we made a laser cut acrylic box. You can download the cut file here.. Don't have a laser cutter, no worries, you can also make a Musixel BoomBoxes out of cardboard and use hot-glue to glue it together, they sound and look great!
