vu-Tower vu meter
microphone led vu-meter, schematic from instructablesdotcom… transparent plexi 15mm… a lane is AfterRetroxim from Mr.T&O…. schematic is in “kobaya – graphite” video in my folder, watch final 10 seconds in tall quality… or: www.instructables.com




what material do you use to made the tower?, i refere to the panels
Sorry for my bad english
@redvodka39
every output of the LM3916 goes to one blue and one white led at the same time, but the other leg of all ten white leds is wired to the switch, same for blue.. so, when the switch is in position 1, minus connection for ten white leds is connected (blues are off), and in position 2 whites common minus is disconnected and blue is connected…
another switch is on-off, and third switch is for the third row of white leds, which light at the same time, like a lamp…
Hi mixcev , i make your circuit and it’s work , but i have a litlle problem!!
i have to setting the music so verry loud before the leds lighting up ??
The first four ok , but the other leds are lightly ?
Can you help me to fix that ,
The meaning is that , at tender music volume the leds are also works.
I must play now loud music to see lighten leds
Wich value must i change
thx
greets redvoka
Hi! Can I put electrolytic capacitors instead the ceramic ones?
Thank’s!
@redvodka39
you can lower the resistor on the mic to 5KOhm, two 20K resistors can be lowered, but be carefull!!! maybe lower capacitor instead of 10uF….
after all, you can raise the power supply voltage on the LM386, so the higher voltage goes to 3916, or lower the supply on 3916, so its more sensitive for voltage from 386…
these are suggestions, they might not work, be carefull, dont blame me if something goes puff
this is an electret microphone
@MetalHippy88
now you can only rip it from youtube video (google “download mp3 from youtube”)…
i uploaded a .wav file so its a decent quality…
Hey You´re a God
Very Nice Tower ^^
Ps. Would You Send Me The Song Or Tell Me Were I Can Find It ^^”
I Dont Know But… It Rocks Hard =P
(MetalHippy@hotmail.de)
Hope U Can Help Me thx Before
@mixcev
or maybe u just can make a box of desired thickness and fill it with water then seal it (using flourescent dye and balck light leds comes to my mind)
@mixcev Thx man
D
@xXSpeedXxXHunXx
10 days +10 leds +30cm =50euros
how much this?
i just love this song
NICE i need to do a project 4 school (making a led vu meter) but i can only use 5 V and my micro controller only has 18 pins ind i can use 9 of them 4 leds you god a god ideah?
@Flogo85 add a resistor of potentiometer
Абалденно!!!
looool xD
good job !!
i built something similar with LED-lighted letters from the sign of an old shop.
check my videos!
@Inventor89
one domestic company made it specially for a private customer, and the piece i bought was a remain (?) that was left from that, so i bought it per kilo… if i wanted a new piece that thick, i had to order a board 2×3 meters – 500 euro ! ! ! ….but these two kilos were two euros! …not much of a help?!!
Were did you buy the plexi glass that thick?
@Flogo85
…sorry, no idea…. look at the chips datasheet, they covered some troubleshooting in it…
hi, cool tower
maybe you can help me.
i think the lm3916 is too sensitive,
any idea how to get the light slower?
and the first ~4 leds are very bright in comparison with the others,
any idea how to solve that?
thanks a lot.
