I am trying to make a project for my apartment where LED's will be sound reactive as well as alternating. I have searched through here and found lots of threads on alternating LED's, but didnt see one where the two where put together. If theres a thread, please let me know and I will use that for reference instead. I'll be using around 200 LED's. Most likely Blue, Red, and White. I plan on using the LM386N for the sound reactive part and have used them before with good results. Through reading the threads on here, it sounds like I should go with the 555. My question is can i use them to make an alternating LED circuit, and then just use the output from the 555 to the power input of the LMN386N to have them still be sound reactive? I'm worried if I put the LMN before the 555, that it will mess with the 555 being able to alternate. I know the output of the LMN is 3 volts and stays current, so would it still be ok?
I was also wondering if I could completely bypass the having to use both and maybe do this all with a 4017? Or if its really possible, use the 4017 to make an alternating pattern that is also sound reactive using the LM386N.
Sorry if this doesn't make sense, I'll try to clarify more if needed. Thanks for any help!
