Hey guys, I need to build an LED VU Meter for my electronics project which I have to submit by the coming week. I searched quite a lot on instructables and on youtube to see how it is and all, but frankly I'm spoilt for choice. I found this one linked below which I liked and I have all the components ready with me to build it, but earlier in the day today I realised that it was a Sound Level Meter ( I donno the difference). https://www.aaroncake.net/circuits/vumeter.asp
I want to make one which can react to the beats of music ( you know what I mean )
Well I wanted to know whether the one given on the aaroncake website will work in such a way or not.....I have been an electronics student for 2 years but have not got exposure to these type of projects...
I also want to know how I am supposed to apply an audio input to the circuit....it says input but how do I apply it? Also I will be testing the circuit given on the aaroncake website tomorrow so I was thinking of using the signal generator present in my lab as an audio input but then again I dont know what frequencys to apply......
Can anyone please help me sort out these issues? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
PS - these 2 links also show a similar Vu meter posted by Audioguru on other threads, are they of any use to me?
