The title says it all, really. Is there any way to create a sound dependent variable resistor?
For a halloween costume, I'm building up a mask featuring red LEDs (around 6-12) under a visor and a microphone hidden in a respirator.
Ideally want to set it up so the lights are half lit when I'm silent, but increase in brightness as I speak.
Now, I have no idea if this is possible, never done anything involving sound in circuits before and my knowledge is pretty limited to begin with.
Assume size isn't an issue for circuitry, the mask itself is hooked via a tube to a seperate unit, which I can increase in size to fit the circuit board, components, power supply, etc.
Thanks in advance!
