HackerBox #0131 - Amberjack

Assemble a two-dimensional 9x9 matrix of 81 LEDs.  Driven by two traditional LED chaser circuits arranged to control the vertical and horizontal axes of the 9x9 matrix, the LEDs exhibit vibrant cycles of oscillatory illumination under the control of two potentiometers.  Configure the ESP32-2432S028R development platform, better known as the CYD, along with a custom laser cut acrylic enclosure.  Connect a tablet speaker to an audio plug on the CYD to implement a graphical piano instrument and a colorful Tetris game.  Wire an 8x8 addressable RGB LED matrix to one of the CYD I/O sockets to create a variety of visual effects using the vibrant touch screen user interface.  Explore a wide variety of other CYD projects.  Experiment with kneadable art erasers for holding components in place while soldering. Peek behind the curtain of international trade and the economics of loudspeaker technology including the fascinating connections between JBL, Harman/Kardon, Polk Audio, Marantz, and several other well known speaker companies.  Hack the Planet!
