I was bored and I made a very simple VU Meter with my Arduino, a microphone and some leds...

If anyone is interested, I can provide the code ;)
EDIT : It's right there http://pastebin.com/9cMZ6szb

(The microphone is Sparkfun BOB-09868 "Breakout Board for ADMP401 MEMS Microphone". It can be found at http://www.sparkfun.com/products/9868 )

  • Hi. Nice work. Im new to electronics. Do you have some sort of schematics or diagram about the components and how they link togheter?.

    Tks ;)

  • @manpeco I'm sorry, I don't really know how to do schematics but the circuit is really simple. It just consists of some leds wich are connected to the arduino output pins with resistors, and a microphone I bought at sparkfun.com which connects to an analog input pin on the arduino. The code is quite simple too, have a look at it (it's in the description) and tell me if you need any precise information :).

  • I would like the code.....

  • @eujc21 There, it has been added to the description :)

see all

  • @manpeco Well, it's really easy ! In fact, it's just like any other microphone (like an electret microphone), you just have to supply power to the board, and get the signal (3.3v to the positive pin [VCC], ground to the ground pin [GND], and signal [AUD] to an analog input on your Arduino - I chose analog input 0 on mine). Then just pick my code and fiddle a bit with it :)

  • I mean ... i didnt find yet how im gonna link the micro with arduino, lol

  • @Technologeek73 Thanks for the reply. I have the same micro that you have.

    Im trying to detect sounds with it and generate graphics to the screen with processing, But i didnt find yet how im gonna link the micro with processing, It appears that theres little information about how to implement this micro with arduino on the web, or im just searching bad ...

  • It would be awesome for my Halloween Idea.

  • @Daawlex C'est un VU-Mètre (regarde sur wikipedia xD)... C'est juste pour avoir une représentation du son quoi ^^

    En plus ça a la classe ;)

  • Qu'est donc ?
