I could see no use of the frequency domain. I thought it was going to be more like an n-channel light organ with position for intensity and color for frequency, A peak display could show more data with secondary colors showing crossing points as on pitch got louder as the other decreased.
@RMoribayashi - The project was really designed to demonstrate the TLC5940 driver library and show how you can control a number of RGB LEDs via USB using a PIC18F. What the display shows is controlled by the windows host software. You could easily alter it to be a spectrum analyser since all the code is open-source.
I just picked a VU meter because it seemed like something fun to try it out with :)
@simoninns That comment is a good example of why I usually sit on my posts for a day. If it still is worth sending 24 hours later then it gets a green light. It definitely needed a rewrite. Sorry.
How many levels can you get with each color? I've seen a lot of RGB LED projects that are satisfied with just seven colors. This library seems to open up a lot of possibilities for true color LED projects.
@RMoribayashi - The windows host code supports 256 levels of red, green and blue (256 levels per colour), however the PIC18F/TLC5960 support 4096 PWM levels; they are really flexible controllers (you can even program them to allow for brightness correction between the LEDs). I only used 256 levels because for a project like this it doesn't make much difference and it's also what's supported by the windows colour selection dialogues.
Great Project!! :)
