Project: VU Meter
Brief: Large LED-lit system that can have stereo sound input and output corresponding light levels.
Examples:
Video 1 - "LED VU - Color Music"
Video 2 - "RGB Vu meter Final test video"
Sketches: simple paint.net sketch
Materials needed: Not sure yet - need help
Circuit: Not sure yet - need help
Build: Not started yet
I have a GCSE qualification in Electronics, and I have *just* taken my exams for AS-level Electronics. I have test equipment at home and soldering irons etc. I would like to buy a pre-made kit but if that's not possible i am able to create my own and test on Circuit Wizard.
Could you guys help me out with the circuit i would need, parts etc.
PS what is a good program to simulate a circuit like this? The educational version of Circuit Wizard I have does not feature the LM3915 IC that I see is commonly used in VU circuits. I would also like to see how the circuit would react to music before i build it.
Thanks
