Star Trek chair code written for Adam Savage & Tested

This code adds sound & light to Adam Savage's Star Trek captain's chair featured in the following Tested video:

It compiles on Teensy 3.1, requires a Teensy Audio Board, and the two code bases are designed to work in parallel. Both are available in this GITHUB repository:

Jeremy Williams wrote the code and designed the sound/LED hardware.

Update April 2017: This is the second revision of the code & hardware. The sound board now acts as a master and the LED board is a slave. All buttons are routed solely to the sound board, and it sends signals to the LED board via hardware serial. There is also a pin expander IC incorporated instead of the pins on the underside of the Teensy 3.1.

A PCB is now available from OSH Park: https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/ZAHpgs72

As always, thanks to the amazing library developers for keeping Arduino coding from becoming a chore. You are all giants. I'll monitor the feedback on Github from time to time but this code should be considered unsupported. #LLAP.
