This is the first video on my series about my animatronic frog. It needed an MP3 player, it needed to be able to be controlled by a picaxe chip, and it needed to be in STEREO.
I found so many MP3 circuits were just mono.

Air quality level is at red. Which means it is literally unhealthy to be outside. Any higher and it's black. Which means you go outside, you're going to die.
