hi, Im sure someone can help me. Im designing a Sound level detector using an 8051. (ie. sound of breaking glass).
Ive got an 8bit ADC and an 8051 micro. Im currently using a potentiometer to simulate a threshold for the ADC but My bafflement is the Analogue bit,
Is it possible to sample the output of an amplified electret mic as a voltage level propotional to Sound going in?. (ie, is the output a voltage level or a frequency wave),
Are there example circuits you know about?
excuse my ignorance im a newbie in Analogue electronics.
