Hello, I have been stalking this message board for the past week hoping to be able to figure this out on my own with no luck.
Basically I am trying to power as many LEDs as possible with a 9 volt battery (or a series of 9 volt batteries?), and for the lights to blink with music.
I know there are a handful of threads like this that contain information and images of working schematics, the problem is I have NO background with circuitry, and as much as I've been trying to self-teach, I can't manage to figure out how to incorporate the mic and amp.
I followed this tutorial and successfully got the lights to blink with an audio jack:

And I have a mic element and a LM386 audio amplifier I got from Radio Shack but am confused how to integrate them. I also don't quite follow standard circuit schematics.....so I pretty much need a diagram with images that a complete dummy can follow
I understand I'm asking for a lot, but you all seem very helpful and maybe will be compassionate to a fellow creator (my background is in costume making).....?
I appreciate any help I can get!!
Andrea
