The VU meter works great. But I have a question. My LED string is 1 meter long. with 144 LEDs. could you also make a hex file for the mega mic with 144 leds? Would really like that. Kind regards harrie
Hey Verdandi, The problem with any of these requested builds is most of them just want the vu meters, not the standby patterns. I also try and cover all boards - including the nano. Adding standby patterns, means less vu meters.
@@cine-lights Sorry to cut in guys, but I was wondering isn't it possible to achieve both types of patterns (with plenty of memory left) on ESP32 boards ?
Hey mate. Thanks for the video. Any chance of getting the code for a 'D1 Mini ESP32'. Sorry, I couldn't find an email anywhere to send a request. Can this be incorporated with WLED btw? I'd love to be able to use your visuals with the standard WLED patterns.
It is something often requested. I did take part in a kick starter which released a vu meter with my code, found here :th-cam.com/video/E4b58mz5hSM/w-d-xo.html The code was fully open source and they looked great.

Each RBG led has three different LED's -Red, Green, and Blue. Blue and Green need 20 MA's and Red is usually 40 to 50 MA's(MA =Milliamps(1/1000th 0f an amp). So each RBG led needs up to 90 MA's. Add the number of RBG's you want to power , then multiply by 90.(Ex. 144 LED's. 144 x 90= 12,960.) to get minimum amps needed, divide by 1000(12960/1000=12.96amps). Its always a good idea to go a bit higher so you will always have some reserve power(also helps power supply run cooler) so in the example, I would buy a 15 amp supply. Hope this helps everyone figure out how much power they need for their projects. Also check the data sheet for your particular Led for more info on power needed.

Thanks for the great work, i have implemented the line in with Bluetooth, i also added an ESP8266 to this, hooked it up to the mega, to allow turning the VU on and off, also to choose the pattern using Amazon Alexa via voice commands.
Hello, I collected everything according to your scheme, it works great !!!! thank!!! but there is one problem, the circuit with a linear input of 3.5 mm, wheezing when working in speakers. losing quality. how to fix it?
Hi CineLigths. Thanks for the update on the Vu-meter. I have the stereo bluetooth version with line in and it Works great. Could you update the code on that one to get the brightness control? I tried myself but it didn't work. thanks again for your time and effort on this Project.
is complicated with this hex file i can't use this on my pro mini and if is 2 version it was better i think to put a jack with swich or a swich to make simple on mic or line-in and make the circuit for the two sources, and to bad is not for stereo version too, i appreciate your work, you are the best in this sections, if you can please send me the hex for pro mini
Today I have implemented this vu meter, it's awesome! It's the first step, quality test right now. I used a Arduino Uno and 60 leds. Thank a lot! AWESOME!
As always, your post amazing stuff and make it simple enough for newbies like me to get it done! I am building a wall system with a large crossbar box at 30 degree angle to floor with two 72 level plexiglass towers on each end. The box features 2 defused plex covers 3in. by 25in. with 35 left and 35 right leds. need code for mono vu with 72 leds on a mega, and stereo vu with 35 leds on each channel. also, i'm having issues using line in, seems not enough power for analog read on ardueno from my t.v.. Is there somewhere in the code to make this more sensitive? Thanks and know I'll always be one of your biggest fans ! Emotec2007 P.S. Will post video of finished project when I have it all working.
Hi . Manny-- My request is for a code with 72 leds -=-line-in-=-mega. I also have a couple of tips I'd like to share for everyone building a plexiglass stack tower . #1-=- If your leds stay on when no music is playing, try adding a 1 mega ohm resister between the analog in pin and arduino ground. This will kill a noisy board ( not all clone boards are equal) causing interference and overwhelming adc with false data. #2-=- building a stack tower is very time consuming, so here is a tip to speed it up-=-take a polishing wheel for a dremal tool and put in a revisable drill and use this to spin down the nuts till close to the next plate, then finish by hand until tight. Added bonus-=- polish's the nuts to high luster. I am building a set of two 72 led towers with a top bar and bottom bar with two strings of 32 leds with the data inputs at the center of of each. I'm using 2 unos control them so top bar and bottom bar can display different vu's. the requested code is to control the towers, again with different vu's , all of them with vol and brightness controls. One question though, is it possible to use one pot for two boards at once? ( this would save some cash-less parts) P.S. I'm using Scott Marley's code for the two uno board's to provide stereo signals to the bars, many thanks for the link Please keep up the great work! All the Best, EMOTEC
Oh, forgot to mention I'm using a 40 amp ps, so amps will be no problem. Was wondering also if switching analog(EXTERNAL) to analog(INTERNAL1V1) and using 100k resisters with 0.1 uf cap powered by AREF would work any better for audio input? And maybe powering the pots from AREF too, maybe making both pots and line-in inputs more sensitive? Will post video of the whole thing once its all working.(CAN'T WAIT)!! thanks again from all of us, your devoted fans!! EMOTEC
Hey Mini... I just wish i had more of it... The channel is gathering more subscribers, and as it does it more emails. i try to help everyone, but then it take time away from doing projects with the little time i have. its a hobby, nothing else. hopefully i will get more time soon.
@@cine-lights I know what you're saying Manny, we talked over email. I wish you could make some revenue from these projects, they are quite unique on youtube and it's a shame so many others are using your code without atleast a sub or a link to your channel. I'm still strugling with my uno vu meter, I still get noise music or no music. I ordered the exact microphone as you said, hopefully that fixes my issue. Stay safe and keep these great videos coming!

Thanks for all your coding on these projects. I'm looking for a mono VU meter powered by Pro Micro clone, and using the 4466 mic, 30-LED 2812b LED strip. All the ones I found so far are not working - the whole LED strip stays on all the time, is is because the mic is picking up too much electrical noise off the board? Be grateful for any help & advice :)
Hi, you need the 3.3v reference pin connected. The pro mini doesnt even have one. The nano version of the arduino you will run into same issues as it has a poor 3.3v regulator. so you will need an uno or mega. unless you go for line in
Your project is awesome, Can you give me a piece of code that gives 60 Led Ring (line in) full brightness and full control. Use for Uno or nano not? Thanks You.
I would absolutely love to see a code/guide that works with the stereo mega touchscreen build. I assume this would not work for stereo as is seeing it is only showing through one strip?
This mono version only. either line in or mic, so will not work in stereo. also its controlled via push button - the stereo touch screen does have volume and brightness control and can be used in mono form too.. and you get alot more vu meters and standby patterns
@@cine-lights thank you for the super fast reply, and yep sorry i missed that slide for some reason, I figured it out. Got all electronics up and running, just need to print the case. Every link you have posted does not have the V2 files mentioned for a true MEGA board, just the V1 for a clone board, so im sort of stuck.
Its amazing Cine-Lights! I love your projects! Can I request you an Arduino Uno Mic Version with 38 leds? And is it possible to make the brightness potentiometer within this code or is this Line-in version only? I hope you can help me! Thanks for your great work Cine-Lights :)

And also for 258 Leds line in and Mic for the vu meter 0ne revised-full brightnes and volume control . For the arduino mega of course. I learned that the nano isn`t that capable for those numbers (sometimes i am stubbern but i like the nano for it`s size) But i now discovered the mega 2560 pro mini.

mr miller, i have made a case for the vu meter one nano. I know that in the download link there is a hex file for the nano line in only. But could you make a hex file of 60 leds for a mic nano? and also a hex file for 144 leds mic nano I found a hex file for 144 leds somewhere in the comments, but i think its for line in. It is really sensitive on the potentiometer. Here is a link of the case i made: th-cam.com/video/Ded1ROoh77s/w-d-xo.html Greetz harrie
Hi Harrie, Im sorry but the mic version will not work on a nano, it is uno and mega only due to the AREF and 3.3v rail not being very clean on the Arduino nano, which gives off to much noise. so the nano is line in only.
@@cine-lights thanks for the explanation. Bummer! I made such a nice case for the nano. If I make a separate power supply of 3.3 volts, would it wurk than? With the uno and mega you've als got to use the Rev pin right? Or am I doing that wrong? The mic is always connected to the 3.3 volts line?
@@harriebosgraaf2977 yes its connected to the 3.3v line and aref pin. There is a way round it , by reducing the 5v line to 3.3v using external circuits, there are certain chips that will do it for you. I have never tried so can not give you any further info. But it can be done. The only othe issue that will arise is the nano has limited memory. So trying to run 144 leds maybe an issue. I think you maybe limited to around 60 leds.

Add the number of RBG's you want to power , then multiply by 90.(Ex. 144 LED's. 144 x 90= 12,960.) to get minimum amps needed, divide by 1000(12960/1000=12.96amps).
Its always a good idea to go a bit higher so you will always have some reserve power(also helps power supply run cooler)
so in the example, I would buy a 15 amp supply. Hope this helps everyone figure out how much power they need for their projects. Also check the data sheet for your particular Led for more info on power needed.
ESP32 7 band please please please :)) Others youtubers project not working
Very good man
Hi Sir, i wuold like tu use 30 leds on arduino nano...may i have the code?... please.... Thanks in advance
Hey Pasquale, very sorry for the delay.. been so so busy.... here is your link : drive.google.com/file/d/1dIOJM8vLXS-5ENUefwmvHn5gmTzUQRTO/view?usp=sharing
@@cine-lights no problem, thanks for all
Thanks for the great work, i have implemented the line in with Bluetooth, i also added an ESP8266 to this, hooked it up to the mega, to allow turning the VU on and off, also to choose the pattern using Amazon Alexa via voice commands.
thanks for your work. Would you please send me the code for stereo (144 leds x 2) with mic (max4466).
Hi, You can not use stereo with a mic.., the mic version is mono,.
@@cine-lights thanks for your reply 👍🏻
Great job man! Does it also work with WS2801 LEDs? Because i have a lot of them at home...
Hello, I collected everything according to your scheme, it works great !!!! thank!!!
but there is one problem, the circuit with a linear input of 3.5 mm, wheezing when working in speakers. losing quality. how to fix it?
Hi CineLigths. Thanks for the update on the Vu-meter. I have the stereo bluetooth version with line in and it Works great. Could you update the code on that one to get the brightness control? I tried myself but it didn't work. thanks again for your time and effort on this Project.
Is it possible to run 2 60 pixel strips off this build? and how would i modify the code if it was for the mic version?
Can you build a mic and line only version using nodemcu. It has more memory so large code will not be a problem
is complicated with this hex file i can't use this on my pro mini and if is 2 version it was better i think to put a jack with swich or a swich to make simple on mic or line-in and make the circuit for the two sources, and to bad is not for stereo version too, i appreciate your work, you are the best in this sections, if you can please send me the hex for pro mini
Today I have implemented this vu meter, it's awesome!
It's the first step, quality test right now.
I used a Arduino Uno and 60 leds.
Thank a lot!
AWESOME!
I don't know hou tu use Hex format. Do you have .ino version?
I like this project! Cool Effects!
Can you share song name?
As always, your post amazing stuff and make it simple enough for newbies like me to get it done! I am building a wall system with a large crossbar box at 30 degree angle to floor with two 72 level plexiglass towers on each end. The box features 2 defused plex covers 3in. by 25in. with 35 left and 35 right leds. need code for mono vu with 72 leds on a mega, and stereo vu with 35 leds on each channel. also, i'm having issues using line in, seems not enough power for analog read on ardueno from my t.v.. Is there somewhere in the code to make this more sensitive? Thanks and know I'll always be one of your biggest fans ! Emotec2007 P.S. Will post video of finished project when I have it all working.
Hi . Manny-- My request is for a code with 72 leds -=-line-in-=-mega. I also have a couple of tips I'd like to share for everyone building a plexiglass stack tower .
#1-=- If your leds stay on when no music is playing, try adding a 1 mega ohm resister between the analog in pin and arduino ground. This will kill a noisy board
( not all clone boards are equal) causing interference and overwhelming adc with false data.
#2-=- building a stack tower is very time consuming, so here is a tip to speed it up-=-take a polishing wheel for a dremal tool and put in a revisable drill and
use this to spin down the nuts till close to the next plate, then finish by hand until tight. Added bonus-=- polish's the nuts to high luster.
I am building a set of two 72 led towers with a top bar and bottom bar with two strings of 32 leds with the data inputs at the center of of each. I'm using 2 unos
control them so top bar and bottom bar can display different vu's. the requested code is to control the towers, again with different vu's , all of them with vol and brightness controls. One question though, is it possible to use one pot for two boards at once? ( this would save some cash-less parts)
P.S. I'm using Scott Marley's code for the two uno board's to provide stereo signals to the bars, many thanks for the link
Please keep up the great work!
All the Best, EMOTEC
Oh, forgot to mention I'm using a 40 amp ps, so amps will be no problem. Was wondering also if switching analog(EXTERNAL) to analog(INTERNAL1V1) and using 100k resisters with 0.1 uf cap powered by AREF would work any better for audio input? And maybe powering the pots from AREF too, maybe making both pots and line-in inputs more sensitive? Will post video of the whole thing once its all working.(CAN'T WAIT)!!
thanks again from all of us, your devoted fans!! EMOTEC
Thank you for your time !
Hey Mini... I just wish i had more of it... The channel is gathering more subscribers, and as it does it more emails. i try to help everyone, but then it take time away from doing projects with the little time i have. its a hobby, nothing else. hopefully i will get more time soon.
@@cine-lights I know what you're saying Manny, we talked over email. I wish you could make some revenue from these projects, they are quite unique on youtube and it's a shame so many others are using your code without atleast a sub or a link to your channel. I'm still strugling with my uno vu meter, I still get noise music or no music. I ordered the exact microphone as you said, hopefully that fixes my issue. Stay safe and keep these great videos coming!
Please help me, if I want to parallel 3 led strips (60 leds 1 strip), how many amps must I supply?
You can never have to many amps... I would look at about 10amps to start with
each led has three different leds -red, green, and blue. blue and green need 20 MA's and red is usually 40 to 50MA's(MA =Milliamps(1 1000th 0f an amp). So each RBG led needs up to 90 MA's. Add the number of RBG's you want to power , then multiply by 90.(Ex. 144 leds. 144 x 90= 12,960.) to get minimum amps needed, divide by 1000(12960/1000=12.96amps).
Its always a good idea to go a bit higher so you will always have some reserve power(also helps power supply run cooler)
so in the example, I would buy a 15 amp supply. Hope this helps everyone figure out how much power they need for their projects
In your case the math would be as such-180 x 90 =1600/1000=16, so look for a 20 amp supply to have no problems
Hi, i am really thrilled by your builds. I have build the vu meter with volume and brightness control as well as button for effect change. However, just can't load your hex to my arduino nano.
Will it be possible to get the code in another way? Thank you so much !
Hey Bf, how many leds are you using on the nano ?
Hi Your montages are certainly the most interesting, but a question
comes to me, can 'we block a view to avoid the flaking of others?
In addition, the coding is locked and installed with XLoader
cordially
Respect for your work!
flaking // = Scroll ....sorry 😅
Great project! Friend, can you share the code with the *ino extension ?!

Thanks for all your coding on these projects. I'm looking for a mono VU meter powered by Pro Micro clone, and using the 4466 mic, 30-LED 2812b LED strip. All the ones I found so far are not working - the whole LED strip stays on all the time, is is because the mic is picking up too much electrical noise off the board? Be grateful for any help & advice :)
Hi, you need the 3.3v reference pin connected. The pro mini doesnt even have one. The nano version of the arduino you will run into same issues as it has a poor 3.3v regulator. so you will need an uno or mega. unless you go for line in
@@cine-lights ok thanks at least that explains it
é possivel essa verão stereo? Parabéns pela programação e pelo empenho em compartilhar!

Your project is awesome, Can you give me a piece of code that gives 60 Led Ring (line in) full brightness and full control. Use for Uno or nano not? Thanks You.
Hey Mori, the code you are requesting has already been uploaded and is available in the downloads
@@cine-lights Can you give me the link? My 60 Ring Leds are only found for MIC and no controller 😥
I would absolutely love to see a code/guide that works with the stereo mega touchscreen build. I assume this would not work for stereo as is seeing it is only showing through one strip?
This mono version only. either line in or mic, so will not work in stereo. also its controlled via push button - the stereo touch screen does have volume and brightness control and can be used in mono form too.. and you get alot more vu meters and standby patterns
@@cine-lights thank you for the super fast reply, and yep sorry i missed that slide for some reason, I figured it out. Got all electronics up and running, just need to print the case. Every link you have posted does not have the V2 files mentioned for a true MEGA board, just the V1 for a clone board, so im sort of stuck.
Its amazing Cine-Lights! I love your projects! Can I request you an Arduino Uno Mic Version with 38 leds? And is it possible to make the brightness potentiometer within this code or is this Line-in version only? I hope you can help me! Thanks for your great work Cine-Lights :)
Hey worldofwobwob, i can make this a mic in version as it is already supplied, and it can be used on the arduino uno with no issues. here is your link of 38 leds : drive.google.com/file/d/1b6PUwHdNV2Np9e0bKGfzYxmF4qESbsml/view?usp=sharing

E possível enviar ele esterio?
Nice vu meter as usual! May i request mega version with 300 LEDs? I want to make my ceilings look neat 😊
no problem, line in or mic version?
Both of them 😊 i want to test the difference too
The LEDs already came, i tried to modify your code for 300 LEDs, but it just won't work .. when i try 250, it work
Working on a project for my hifi tower. Could you provide me a hex file of 110 Leds Line in and Mic for the vu meter 0ne revised-full brightnes and volume control? And also for 258 Leds line in and Mic for the vu meter 0ne revised-full brightnes and volume control . For the arduino mega of course. I learned that the nano isn`t that capable for those numbers (sometimes i am stubbern but i like the nano for it`s size) But i now discovered the mega 2560 pro mini. Half the size of his brother, and fits nicely in the case i made. Keep tinkering and try to stay healthy. Weird times at the moment (damn corona)

@@cine-lights thank bro . mic

mr miller, i have made a case for the vu meter one nano. I know that in the download link there is a hex file for the nano line in only. But could you make a hex file of 60 leds for a mic nano? and also a hex file for 144 leds mic nano
I found a hex file for 144 leds somewhere in the comments, but i think its for line in. It is really sensitive on the potentiometer. Here is a link of the case i made: th-cam.com/video/Ded1ROoh77s/w-d-xo.html
Greetz harrie
Hi Harrie, Im sorry but the mic version will not work on a nano, it is uno and mega only due to the AREF and 3.3v rail not being very clean on the Arduino nano, which gives off to much noise. so the nano is line in only.
@@cine-lights thanks for the explanation. Bummer! I made such a nice case for the nano. If I make a separate power supply of 3.3 volts, would it wurk than? With the uno and mega you've als got to use the Rev pin right? Or am I doing that wrong? The mic is always connected to the 3.3 volts line?
@@harriebosgraaf2977 yes its connected to the 3.3v line and aref pin. There is a way round it , by reducing the 5v line to 3.3v using external circuits, there are certain chips that will do it for you. I have never tried so can not give you any further info. But it can be done. The only othe issue that will arise is the nano has limited memory. So trying to run 144 leds maybe an issue. I think you maybe limited to around 60 leds.
@@harriebosgraaf2977 also nice case...
@@cine-lights thanks. I Wil try it. If it wurk, I Wil let you know. Greetz harrie
