I'm doing it in software on an Arduino.

I posted the Arduino software to:
https://github.com/brandonedens/light_bike

I'll throw up a README.rst maybe tonight with pictures of the hardware setup a
schematic. I'm reading data from the Sparkfun MEMS microphone.

You know, I've also loaded up Windows crap in a virtualbox machine and then
monitoring the traffic via Linux usb monitoring. Not sure if that's applicable
here.

I also have a Bitscope with logic analyzer but haven't used it too much. Its not
very fast.
