Signed up just for this, I thought I would be the first with this project but months of procrastination and lookie here :roll:
Though my plan is only a little different (microcontroller to control ws2182 strips and chinese fans through a windows program) but I am intrigued with your plan to control your HD120s though a windows software.
More specifically the music syncing part. What is your plan for that? My main feature was going to be this, i would have a graphic editor(similar to some dmx software) with lanes for each led strip.
In your code I would assume breakfast() receives serial inputs when there is any and the acts accordingly. I'm sure there are libraries in visual studio to send values to the arduino through the com port.
Are the commands you sent to the arduino numerals?
This is getting me pumped up typing this, really excited to see how you're bringing this forth :D:
