Here we use ESP32 microcontroller to analyze real-time audio signals
- Real-time FFT to get frequencies
- Use MSGEQ7 chip to get the same data
- Display frequency bands on LEDs as bars

Known Limitations
- Sampling frequency must be high
- Sampling time should not interfere with other WiFi functions
- FFT calculations are CPU intensive
- Frequency binning needs to be done manually
