Question: why does the code only run on version 1.6.5 of the Arduino IDE and not on the current Vers. 1.8.12 ???

[@mystevie31]

WOO HOO! TEST ONE COMPLETE! I tried this code with the generic sound sensor module that came in the Elegoo "most complete kit"! I'm going to cull some code and hope it will power 80 neopixels (ws2812b ip65) strand with only 2 18650's & a buck converter. I need to lower the brightness to keep power consumption below 2.7amps. I need to sew these lights into my jacket by tonight!!! I used a button from the kit and I did experience ghost clicks. I'll try it with a 1k resistor to see if that helps! Once again, Awesome job!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@mystevie31]

Test 2 complete with Good News! I got all Vu's to work on 100 WS2812b neopixels. I'm not a programer so I left all the math as is. NO CODE WAS CUT, IT'S ALL IN THERE! I added 1000uF to the power mains, and a 220 Ω resistor between data out and neopixels. Supplying 5.5V to whole system via 2 18650's in series thru a $8 buck converter. (75%) of program storage space. (73%) of dynamic memory. Happy New Year🎆🌠👍

@@mystevie31 Do i really need external power ?

[@mystevie31]

@@kuzeydursun7805 yes! You'll need to power your 5v controller. Depending on how many neopixels you want to use, you'll need the appropriate buck converter to run the pixel strand.

[@kuzeydursun7805]

@@mystevie31 I have 5v 2amp power can i light up to 30 pixels ?

[@mystevie31]

@@kuzeydursun7805 Each neopixel draws 60 milliamps at full brightness. The math would be: 0.06 amps × 30 pixels = 1.8 amps. So your cutting it close, you'd be close to the limit because you have to remember your controller is drawing power too. If you go up any further, the board will lose power. This 1.8 amp number means all pixels on at full bright white. But if you're running colorful patterns on your strand, you will do fine with a 2amp power supply.

[@getyerspn]

nice very ... you are the king of arduino VU's you're self and Andrew Tuline have inspired many a project of mine ...huge thanks

[@getyerspn]

Hi I hope you don't mind but I've changed the code ever so slightly to include a sensitivity linear Potentiometer for all of the 'linear' vu now.. the wiper of the pot is connected to A0 with the the other pins being connected to 5v and GND ..all its does is provide 7 levels of dampening to the lvl variable by mapping the pot reading (0-1023) to a value of 1 to 7. The mic I prefer and use is the ADMP 401 mems mic's as they have a much lower noise floor than the MAX 4466...which is still attached to A5 however due to the funky pin spacing on the uno's I've moved the button input to Digital i/o pin 10 , and the LED data pin to digital i/o pin 8.. every other pin is unchanged. This means you can make a 'Hat' for the uno with the mic'/button and pot' on normal perf' board without having to buy an uno prototype board. The code is here drive.google.com/open?id=1cEp4mDYSKpOLuzv4Sf4ck29VKdZy4on3 It still compiles/uploads & works fine with arduino 1.8.2 (Thanks W C ) and as everything else is unchanged from Cine-Lights code still works fine on a standard Uno with a 60 led strip... tested with upto 80 leds ok as well. Also works fine on a 328p based arduino Nano I found that by reducing the #define SAMPLES from 60 to 25 the vu still works well but gives enough free memory for variables to work well on the nano. if you swap out the boot loader in the nano for a Uno or smaller bootloader you can leave the #define SAMPLES at 60. Also if you intend to use a long data line (5m or more)...if you want the arduino a long way from the led strip...I highly recommend you add a 100 Ohm resistor in the data line as close as possible to the arduino I/o pin used for the led's ...helps stop 'ringing' on the data line and so give a more stable display especially on the cheaper ws2812b strips from china....also on the cheaper WS2812b strips if they have the perforation holes in the copper data strip down the middle of the strip it helps to solder over ALL theses to cover up the holes ..some of the cheap strips don't have a lot of copper either side of the holes and seem prone to failure there.

I would be so nice if it could be connected to 3.5 jack. Modes are awesome, absolutely love it! 😉

[@cine-lights]

It maybe something i will look into - i did port over a few of the patterns from this vu meter to the stereo line in version.

[@YouCountSheep]

I did your stereo VU meter with a mega and just connected a 3.5 jack in place of the microphone. Don't know the top of my head what I did with the program but it wasn't that difficult. There is 2 problems with that though. First is the input gain because the volume of the output will controll the peaks by a significant amount. So a low volume might not even light the LEDs up. Secondly somehow the Arduino mega induces a bit of noise. Currently I have my computer lineout to a box and split off with an Y cable to the VU meter. Also another tip for you cine-lights, I use 70 LEDs per side but I only use a 3 Amp PSU to fit it all in one box. Just dimmed the brightness and its completely sufficient. You can take a look at it on my channel. I wanna improve my thing, but I think I have to change the program to get some automatic adjustment for the gain. And Im going to buy a stereo optocoupler which are readily available and see if that gets rid of the noise. Truly Im not a fan of the microphone version. At all lol. Good job though

[@cine-lights]

fambaa I agree you can use a smaller power supply.. but some people wish to use full brightness, or are unsure how to reduce the brightness so i always recommend a 4 amp+ on single strip and maybe 5 amp + on the stereo versions to be safe. The microphone version is almost 3 years old now and i still get comments and requests for help still.., so my reason for the updates. i do prefer a msgeq7 line in version as you get better reaction.

[@wclumiere5665]

Hi cine-lights I think I found the problem in the code having issues with the new versions of Arduino ide. The problem I found was with the Juggle effect. I changed it to the following code from the FastLED DemoReel100.ino The only thing that was causing the problem was the missing -1 at the end of NUM_LEDS. and now everything works fine for me. I'm using Arduino version 1.8.5 This also goes for the "sinelon" and "blur" effects just add -1 as well, and I changed all instances of " LEDS." to "FastLED." I found in the sketch. void juggle() { // Several colored dots, weaving in and out of sync with each other curhue = thishue; // Reset the hue values. fadeToBlackBy(leds, N_PIXELS, faderate); for ( int i = 0; i < numdots; i++) { //leds[beatsin16(basebeat+i+numdots,0,N_PIXELS)] += CHSV(curhue, thissat, thisbright); //beat16 is a FastLED 3.1 function leds[beatsin16(basebeat+i+numdots,0,N_PIXELS - 1)] += CHSV(curhue, thissat, thisbright); //beat16 is a FastLED 3.1 function //leds[beatsin16( i + 7, 0, N_PIXELS - 1 )] |= CHSV(curhue, thissat, thisbright); //

Can I ask what's the purpose of #define POT_PIN 4 in the vu-meter codes and is there a way to use potentiometer to adjust mic sensitivity (maybe wiring pot between mic output and arduino analog input)?

[@cine-lights]

Hi.. the define pot pin I believe was for sensitivity on one of the vu meters. As there are quite a few vu meters it would have to be written into each one. I have often thought about adding brightness and sensitivity switching but as I am using both the neopixel and fastled libraries it would be quite a task. It would be easier on the arduino uno version.

I am not sure why you are getting xloader errors, unless you are trying to upload a hex file to an arduino uno...? when its designed for the mega.... your first error is that you do not have the neopixel library installed.

Why can i use a max Ammount of 60 Leds? What did i have to do to use 360 Leds?

[@cine-lights]

The limit is 60 leds.for the uno due to the amount of memory it has. If you use the arduino mega, that limit is removed.

Thanks for these videos. I’m actually gonna be starting this project in a couple off days. I have a questions though. I know you said it’s a max of 60 leds. Would it be possible to run another 60 on another data pin? If so, how much power would you recommend running this type of set up?

[@cine-lights]

Hey Daniel, sorry for the late reply. the reason why its a max of 60 leds is due to memory. if you wish to use more leds then use an arduino mega.

Hi amazing video i loved it, and made one for my kid now he is talking to lights. thank you so much. i do have a question. can we use STM32 instead of arduino uno. STM32 is much powerful than atmega 328. every body wants compact project it will be compact as compare to mega. it will be great to have a video on that UV meter using STM 32 and one can run more than 60 leds. hope you will help us..

[@deejeemadrox1866]

So, one of the most important questions = how much current does the powesupply have to be?

[@cine-lights]

Depending on how many leds you are using. In most cases I recommend a minimum of 4 amp +..

[@devds69]

Hi..you have this in stereo mode??

[@cine-lights]

Hi.. not for the uno, only the mega.. It is something that has been requested. But as you will be using double the leds it means less vu meter patterns. But it maybe a future update as we are working hard on all the vu meters.

Each pattern goes for 60 secs. How to reduce the time to 30 Secs?

[@cine-lights]

Hi at the bottom of the code you will find " EVERY_N_SECONDS( 15 ) { nextPattern2(); } // change patterns periodically " change the number 15 to your prefered time. there is one for standby and one for vu meters, so you will have to change both.

[@LakshanJayasinghe]

Can’t this be run on a Arduino nano?

[@cine-lights]

Hi, Not this version. As it is using a microphone it requires a 3.3v power source and the use of the AREF pin. which on the nano has proven to be unstable and produces to much noise. if you use the line in version then yes. but you are limited to the amount of leds used
