Dependencies
Arduino Application
The Arduino app is built for using the Arduino compatible microcontroller Teensy 4.0. Additionally Wiri uses the Teensy 4.0 compatible audio board to generate and modulate waveforms. Wiri also uses individually addressable led strips - WS2812B strips that are controlled using the Fastled LED library and the WS812B Teesny Serial Library together.
