Depending on the loudness theres a good chance your pc stops providing usb power or the voltage regulator on the nano will break down and blow. Also you need to provide the 5v rail at multiple Points to prevent the coming voltage drops. Please use an external 5v supply that feeds the nano and the leds to prevent damage on the nano
is it possible to program this to react specifically to an audio source from a desktop rather than using a sound sensor? I don't always use speakers and am usually using headphones. I'm hoping to build a light panel that takes the audio source from my pc and outputs it to a spectrum analyzer
Yes it is possible. However you must divide the signal into two signals. One for the LED controller and One signal for your headphones or speakers. If you just connect the input of your controller and your headphones in parallel, you won't get satisfying results, so your outputs should be proportional, like 10:1 (headphones : LED controller). This way your headphones will still work as good as connecting them directly to the PC/laptop, but your LED controller will lack of enought signal power, so LED won't blink properly. In order to avoid that, you must amplify the signal, before going to the LED controler. I will try to "draw" a diagram: PC - - - - Splitter - - - Headphones | amplifier | LED Controller | LED STRIP
Let me inform you all that I've been working with Arduino Nano since a very long time now & if we have to program RGB LED strip, Nano can only power up to 29 LEDs from the strip to the maximum if you are making music reactive RGB LED Strip. Else, if you want to power more LEDS, then you can use color pallet from the examples as it will enable you to drive up to 144 or more LEDs. Still in line with music reactive, If you want to drive around 60 LEDs from the strip, then use an Arduino Uno but if you want to drive around 144 LEDs, then use an Arduino Mega. In this videos, this guy is for sure using either Arduino Uno or Mega.
May i ask how you managed to run one meter of LEDS ( presumably 30 leds/meter ) off an arduino with a maximum output of around 500 mA, while 30 leds draw 1.5 A ( 30 * 50 mA )?
@@alexdoho So you have 5v 10A supply for every 1m. i tried 4m of led strips 144 per metre with 5v 20A supply but it didn't work. I wonder why. and did you put 1000uf capacitor before the every first led?
@@technofun887 you need to calculate the current draw of that many LED's. If each led consumes 60mA,and you're running (144/m)*(4m)=576 LED's, your current draw will be 34.56A. So your 5v 20A power supply isn't enough
Nice Project Bhai 😍😍 I mostly find that this very common sound sensor doesn't work 🙄🙄 Can you please share the link to the code where this sensor works 🙏🙏
How did he powered a 144led/m strip with Arduino ? It requires at least 9amps Pls helps me regarding this Also can high current like 15 amp to the same led strip fry it up?
Hi from South Africa.I built this projects works awesome.I have a problem.The strip sometimes goes Red and stays Red no matter what.I then need to power off the Ardruino to get it to function again.Any sugestions?
really easy way to build it ! nice - thank you i need a code that makes the light i a lower brightness alle the time - and at a certain value it should flash (brightness should turn up) - just to have an extra optical "boom" in Movies :) Need to find out how to write it.

I have 2 strip of ws2812b 5meter. Total 10meter 60/m 5volt. Can you tell me which adapter will be better 5v 20amp? Or 5v 10amp? I m using arduino to program. Thanks
@@DIYBuilder Thank you so much for the link :) I have one more question if I want to extend it to 15 meter (5m x 3stripes) So shall i buy 5v 20amp for future scope and is it possible to use that for 2 stripes (5m x 2 stripes) also? or will it damage the strips? I am ording today only from the above link but wanted to confirm it from you first.
Noet Games You are absolutely correct. This is misinformation. I can guarantee that the final working concept was not as shown on the video. Having done a lot of ws2812b projects myself, you need a 5V power brick (2A is good but might need more depending of the amount of leds), which you will connect to Vin of your arduino/esp8266 and to the strip itself. Adding a 330ohm resistance to the data pin and a 1000uF capacitor between +5 and GND are also typically good practices.
alfred martinez Doesn’t have to be insane. I have bought those to power 30 to 40 LEDs: www.amazon.com/BOLWEO-100-240V-Compatible-Connector-5-5mmx2-1mm/dp/B0777HWN87/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?keywords=5v+2a+power+adapter&qid=1559094384&s=gateway&sprefix=5v+2a+&sr=8-4 $11 for 2 is a good price. I also bought few 4A for longer strips. At most each LED will draw 60mA, but best is to have a big power supply, test your project, measure how much current is drawn, and then purchase the appropriate adapter. The FastLed library for ardiuno is very efficient, and I don’t think I have been close to the 60mA/led.
Any chance we could get schematics of the circuit and pin diagram of the Nano? Or can someone point me in the direction. This is a great project I want to make.

Nice video! I'm actually trying to build an arduino project that can control an individually addreseble led strip that has 24 leds using an ir remote. I've got the code and components ready, but I'm worried about the current being an issue. Do you know how much power would approximately be needed, and if so, what gauge/ AWG wire would I need to handle that much current. Also, do you know how to connect a separate power supply to the circuit because I don't think the arduino can handle plugging a power supply into the Power Jack connector.

Hi, I'm trying to create (think about rather, my dad was the tech wiz) an RGB 'exiter lamp' that works with sound playback. So the light source (singular) would basically cycle through the colour spectrum depending on intensity/loudness etc. In my head you'd be seeing a lamp cycling through RGB quite quickly (a white flickering light with variation of color really, you wouldn't say it's blue through red say). It's related to something else in involving visual equipment. Sorry, if that sounds vague.
@@DIYBuilder ok. Thanks for the quick reply. I figured that with the additional power source. Even they are LEDs, they draw a quite decent amount of energy.
Honestly, it's good work but for a party atmosphere it is not good enough because the mic on the lights will be cluttered and flash to the mob in your house rather than the songs. I cant program so I just bought 2 RGB 30 LED x 10 pixel lights from holidaycoro, a dmx to spi signal converter, 12 watt power supply, and an easypix smart controller. (With the right cords obviously) then I use the sequencing program vixen to make my light shows... the sequencer I use has a Vertical meter like this but, because it reads the songs audio wave it plays to the song even if theres no music

I'm doing a similar project with 5 x 1m bars of 144 leds. Each is powered by a 5v 10a power supply. As each will consume about 8650ma at full load
