<H1>Steampunk Tube Display: A Fusion of Electronics and Art</H1> This captivating project brings together the worlds of electronics, programming, 3D printing, and artistic painting/airbrushing to create a visually striking display that can be proudly showcased on any desk. The device is designed to detect sound waves and respond by illuminating an LED that shines through a vacuum tube, creating a mesmerizing effect. As music plays, the colors within the tube shift and change, adding an extra layer of dynamism to the display. When placed next to a speaker, the tube appears to dance in harmony with the music.
