Quiz Game Controller using “Lights and Sounds Buzzers” and Arduino

Jeopardy style quiz games are favorites for creating excitement and educational instruction at the same time.  Teachers, summer camp counselors, and even industry educators find this type of game to help generate interest and involvement from the participants. The idea behind the game is simple, but sometimes finding a device that will perform the “first

True Analog Audio Volume Control using Arduino

True Analog Audio Volume Control using Arduino

ow my Arduino can precisely measure audio input (VU meter),   and obviously, next thing that comes to mind right after measurements, is regulation or control. There are many different ways how to electronically adjust audio volume or level of AC signal.  I’ll name a few: Specifically design IC, Digital potentiometers. Mechanical potentiometers, driven by servo

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

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,
