Taking Things Step by Step...........................................................................

To make the lights dance to the music, you have a few tasks to perform:

1. Build the circuit that makes it all run.


2. Assemble the lights on the surface of the wooden box that you place the
   circuit in.


3. Attach knobs, an on/off switch, a microphone, potentiometers, and a
   speaker to the box; then insert the breadboard containing the circuit in
   the box and connect everything.

And that’s what we cover in this section.

Time to go one-on-one with your breadboard. Grab your schematic, tape it to

the wall, and get going.
