arduino with light o rama software using relay board????????
hi i have a quick question, i have a 8 channle relay board for my arduino for controllering my christmas lights. what i was wondering is if there was any way to interface that relay board and the arduino with the light-o-rama controller software that they sell sepertly. the reason i want to do this is so i can blink my lights to music with out paying for a ready to go system because thos cost alot. if you could help me that would be great, p.s i have a arduino with the duemilanova bootloader and a atmega 328. thanks in advance!

I've never heard of light o Rama, but you mIght be able to use just the arduino. I tried the fft for arduino and the lol shield, and that works great. Shouldn't be too hard to change to your needs. It he project I use should appear in the reference bar in the lower right :)
Sorry for the short reply but I am using a phone to type

Thanks for the help, i have found a light controll software called vixen that workes alot like light o rama. The best part is that i can interface with arduino over serial using the usb, i have also since gotten a arduino mega 2560 so i will do around 20 channels of liights synchronized to music.
Here is a link to the vixen site. www.vixenlights.com
Here is a link to the code for the arduino.
