Partyvator is a pop-up music & light experience that takes place between floors. It's a simple and unexpected way to make the elevator experience better.

This code & guide reflects the project as of the time it was presented for a physical computing class at NYU's Interactive Telecommunications Program.
- ADXL335 triple-axis accelerometer
- Digital Addressable RBG LED Strip
- 2x Arduino Uno or equivalent
- Battery operated speaker
- Battery power supply for lights (such as 6v lantern batteries & a voltage regulator)
- Computer running Processing
- Arduino won't control full 5m LPD8806 strip with current noise code
- No time-out function to prevent runaway sequences when elevator motion end isn't detected
- Allow for random or time-of-day based music/light segments
- Update Arduino code to be able to run a full 5m strip with noise based lighting effects
- Write code for elevator movement logic for Arduino
- Arduino to Arduino serial communication (eliminate multiple USB connections to computer)
- Eliminate computer from experience using MP3 shield for Arduino investigating rMP3
