christmas lights.<br>

tri-state LED lights. I'd like to synchronize the lights to music
(this is for a miniature town a friend is building for God only knows
why).<br>
<br>
I have *NO IDEA* how to go forward with this and I further have no idea
how the embedded computer would interface with the lights to turn them
on/off/colors. <br>
<br>
Has anybody done anything like this? What did you do and how did you
do it? Did you look the LEDs up to a serial port and set pin
voltages? What language did you use? C? Java? <br>
<br>
Any pointers would be greatly appreaciated.<br>
