  • Stabilizing aux input with sound reactive displays (Agc)

    Hi, i‘m currently experimenting around with Andrew Tuline‘s sound reactive demos from his repository (https://github.com/atuline/FastLED-SoundReactive). My problem is the following: my line in signal is connected through a circuit described by benxo‘s vu2 (https://github.com/ben-xo/vu2/blob/master/vu2%20basic.png). Now to get the leds to light up and react to the audio, it has to be at full volume and even then, some routines (like sound_ripple) only light up ~ 40 leds. I‘m using a WS2812B with an Arduino Uno. Is there anything i can do to make the routines like sound_ripple light up more leds? Is it useful to amplify my line-in signal and if yes, how would i go on? Thanks

    Actually, I do. I crafted some disgusting combination of code I found elsewhere to switch between various audio-reactive patterns written by Andrew Tuline using a switch (since I didn't have a push button at the time haha). Only the first case is audio reactive, but you should be able to add whatever routines you'd like, just replace the routine in the changeDisplay() function. You'll have to change some of the definitions based on your LEDs and if you're using different pins, though. Hope it kinda helps: here
