Hey guys, just want you all to know that I'm a beginner with this kind of stuff. So far I have a somewhat working circuit, with one problem.
This is what I'm pretty much making, showing the circuit. (https://www.instructables.com/id/Music-LED-Light-Box/step6/Building-the-circuit/)
My circuit looks like that, except instead of the 12V battery I'm using a 12V DC wall plug. Also I have 4 LED lights all connected positive to negative and so on.
These are my LED lights I ordered and using at the moment. (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007RO9X82/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
My problem is that the LED lights are very dim throughout most of the song. And sometimes they're unresponsive. What I did notice is that if I squeeze/press prong #1 on the Tip31, the LED lights get bright. When they go unresponsive, I give the first prong a little squeeze to get them going again. Why is this happening? Also, how come this circuit seems to work for everyone who makes this except for me?
I've been dealing with this issue for almost a week, trying to research as much as I could, but I came up with nothing and now here I am. Thanks everybody, much appreciated!
