Hi,
Just took delivery of a Teensy 4.1 today and first have to say how impressed I am - really easy to get up and running with, had a basic MIDI sequencer going not long after getting out the box!
I would like to detect audio signals for timing sent from an audio interface’s output via an audio cable, these could just be simple clicks or pulses, whatever is easiest to detect... and I was wondering if it’s possible to just directly connect a 3.5mm jack socket to one of the input pins and detect whether the input signal is “low” or “high” in order to detect these pulses, or if I need the audio board or a similar ADC even for this “simple” case?
I’m pretty new to electronics so don’t want to just connect up a jack and experiment in case there’s a risk of damaging the Teensy with the audio signals coming in or whatever - if anyone has any advice here that would be great!
Thanks,
Tom
