Main Function

1. Sound Pickup Light strip
   The light strip can "hear" the loudiness of the environment, then convert the loudiness to the length of the light. Moreover, it can change color when high frequency of sound appears.
   There are two modes of the strip: light coming from the side, or coming from the middle of the strip.
2. Color-gradient Light strip
   The light strip shows pure color of lights that changes with gradient, like the rainbow.
3. Auto sleep
   When in sound pickup mode, if the loudiness is too small in a region of times, it shuts down temporarily. When a loud sound comes, it can auto wake up.
