Twinkle, Twinkle, Arduino...

Francois Chambard has built a lamp into the espresso counter for Happy Bones, our upcoming café. The plan is to have the lamp respond to customers putting money in the tip jar. I have an Arduino-controlled dimmer working, but Brandon LeNoir is working on the sensor. Until we integrate, I wanted the light to do something autonomously. Mapping notes to light levels (higher is brighter, lower is dimmer), and testing with a UM Project lamp, the system now plays Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.

The only other issue is that the whole setup looks a lot like a bomb...
