Audio VU meter

Audio VU meter with Extra wide Dynamic Range 69 dB using Arduino

O’K, after having some fun with stereo version of the VU meter I described in my previous blog-post, now it’s time to do a serious stuff. Studio grade VU meter !!! 24 steps, equally spaced every 3 dB, covering Extra wide Dynamic Range from -63  up to  +6 dB.  Single (mono) channel this time, no messing around, absolute precision at …

Power Quality Meter ( PQ Monitor) using Arduino

Arduino UNO project, Power Quality Meter, someone would call it’s PQ Monitor or PQ Analyzer. I had already published one  blog  devoted RMS voltage measurements on full band  20 – 20 000 Hz  audio signals. ( Following my own style, I’d refer to already published materials whenever it’s possible ).  This time measurements performed on single AC …

Using Mozzi Library with 5 potentiometers using arduino

Getting Started The goal of this project was to create filters and controls to that can manipulate sound that is being generated through an Arduino. Normally Arduino can only generate simple tones that are not useful if you are trying to achieve complex sounds and do sound manipulation. In order to do this project Mozzi library was …
