Hello

My name is David West and I am a former member of I3. I   am in the need of help writing some code and plugging in some components for an altered cigarette machine I am working on.  

It is a fully mechanical machine from the 1930 that I have customized to put on a show when you vend from it.  There are spooky ghosts, a graveyard, some eerie sound effects and a haunting soundtrack.  

I have all of the components installed and ready to go I just need someone to help get the components to talk to each other.  

There are 5 LED lights, 1 small  strip of RGB LEDs, 2 servos, and an over the counter computer audio system that is controlled by 1 single limit switch.  The switch should tell the Arduino to randomly select from 4 different audio tracks (that are already written)  on an accompanying mp3 player and have a light show that accompanies the audio track.  With an additional 'look at me' audio track that could play randomly every 30min or so.    

Again I have all of the components ready to go. I just need help getting the elements to talk to each other.  I am willing and able to compensate for your time and expertise and would like to install by mid September.  Please contact me if you are available to help with this project.  Also if you have any questions please feel free to ask.
