Smart driving and control board for creating water and light plays synchronized with a music track applied to dancing fountains

Abstract

This work regards on hardware and firmware development of an electronic control and driving system for dancing fountains, able to manage water and lighting scenarios synchronized with mp3 music files stored on an external SD memory card connected to the designed system. The smart PIC-based control unit reproduces the music file related to a particular scenario and drives, in a synchronized way, fountain's LED-based headlights and water pumps to create amazing light and water plays.
