Int volume = 30 //0 to 1023 - high value = lower volume We'll need at least a schematic of your setup and the code you're using. Your post contains too little information to say anything useful. I have the option of using other types of audio outputs from my AV amp like optical or analog too.Īny help would be very much appreciated for the first timer! ![]() I am looking for a simple fix to get audio signals from my amp to my Arduino Mega and hoping some of you guys can help? A simple plug and play option would be ideal if available. I guessing this is due to the amplifiers outputting 2v. My issue is that when connected to either my AV amplifier or headphone amplifier the leds just illuminate fully and no longer work. I bought myself a small headphone amplifier to take the audio from so i’m not relying on the headphone jack from my main amplifier (doing this switches off my speakers). However I want to have the audio input coming directly from my hifi separates system. On set up and testing it was all set up using the audio 3.5 jack from my ipad. I have successfully made a stereo VU Meter using WS2812 LED strips which I am delighted with. ![]() Means loop will go from D6 to D10 and LEDs that are connected at D6-D10 will be ‘OFF’.This is my first time doing this type of project and completely new to Arduino. So it means loop will go from D3 to D5 and LEDs that are connected at D3, D4 and D5 will be ‘ON’Īnd in below ‘for’ loop i=value+1 means value=5+1 means D6 and i<=10 means D10. In above ‘for’ loop i=3 is D3 and Value=5 means D5. It can be explained by example, like suppose the analog value is 50, now divide it by 10, we will get: Now this ‘value’ is divided by 10 to get a result and this result is directly used to get pin no of Arduino using for loop. Now in void loop() function we read the analog value from the A5 pin of Arduino and store that value in a variable namely ‘value’. Here i=3 is the third pin of Arduino and whole for loop will initialize the pin D3-D10 of Arduino. Here we can see a for loop in which we initialize the value of i=3 and run it to 10. In the given void setup() function we initialize the output pins for LEDs. I just keep in mind the connection and write code directly. Here in this code we haven’t given any name to particular LED. Program of this Arduino VU Meter is very easy. The Snapshot of Top layer of PCB layout from EasyEDA, you can view any Layer (Top, Bottom, Topsilk, bottomsilk etc) of the PCB by selecting the layer form the ‘Layers’ Window. We have made the Circuit and PCB design of this VU Meter Shield public, so you can just follow the link to access the Circuit Diagram and PCB layouts. If you need to connect LCD then you can connect the LCD at J1 and J7 (see below circuit) with connections like lcd(14, 15,16,17,18,2). Audio Jack is directly connected at analog pin A5 of Arduino. Circuit for this project is very simple, we have a connected 8 LEDs at pin numbers D3-D10. Also we have two options to apply audio signal to this board that are direct to pins or by using audio jack. Here in this shield, we have used some SMD components that are resistors and LEDs. But here in demonstration of this project we have assembled only LEDs, audio jack and power LED. We can add some more option in this Shield by connecting LCD, ESP8266 Wi-Fi module, DHT11 H&T Module, voltage regulator, more VCC, +5v, +3.3v and GND pins. In this VU Meter Arduino Shield, we have used 8 LEDs, in which 2 LEDs are of Red color for Higher Audio Signal, 2 Yellow LEDs are for mediate audio signal and 4 Green LEDs are for Lower audio Signal. For designing VU Meter Shield for Arduino, we have used EasyEDA, in which first we have designed a Schematic and then converted that into the PCB layout by Auto Routing feature of EasyEDA. ![]()
