Hello!
Yesterday I go the spectrum analyzer working with the LEDs I've installed in my roof at home. It was very cool to watch the music visually unfold above me
Now I have to questions:
1. How can I make the spectrum analyzer effect more smooth? I'm thinking about making a delay in how fast a collumn of pixels are 'allowed' to fall back down.
The way it is out of the box is a little too responsive. The LEDs react instantaneously to every change in the music, and if a lot of things are happening the lights are almost flickering.
In many spectrum analyzer visualisers, that come with audio players, the peak is often marked while the rest of the bar falls back down.
Is there some project you can point me to maybe where this has already been done, so I can take a peek at the code?
2. What are the best practises for wiring a mini jack connector to a Teensy? At the moment I have the the left channel (tip of the mini jack) connected to the teensy + ground.
Should I be using some resistors or condensors between the teensy and the minijack in order to get a better signal?
I'd be happy if someone could point me to an article, or similar, about this. I'd love to learn some more
