Greetings all

Does anyone have a schematic that details how to build the 3 strip Knight Rider voice box? I like to be able to have a sound input (3.5mm headphone jack) and output so that I could connect the voice box inbetween the stereo and the amp/speakers.

Ive attached a picture for those that need their memories refreshed :wink:

If LED VU display is what you are looking for, then use LM3914 / LM3915 Bar Graph ICs from National Semi. The IC's datasheet also contains sample schematic. You can get it from www.national.com
 
I found this link, dont know if it wll help much. There is no schematic, but it tells you how to use a PIC chip to create this effect.

RE: Voice Box Diagram

Hi, I've attached a diagram I found of KITT's voice box, it has a audio input but no output. One could be added easily though. I tried it and it works great.

Have Fun!!

Yes, you are correct, I was the person who built the KITT voice box and placed it on You Tube. My real name is Shane Hunter, I put that diagram of the voice box on this site before I modified it to my needs, I hope you like my voice box and now I have just finished it off and put it in an enclosure!

I have looked this up before. Unfortunately the chip used is not available in Canada. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Assuming you mean the LM3915 it's a VERY common IC, and certainly will be available in Canada - if you can't find it, order it from somewhere else - it's a small world these days.
