Product Description

This graphic equalizer display filter is part of the MSGEQ7 eq.
ARM shield for Arduino
Collaboration within the Bliptronics team with Ben Moyes
It is necessary to include headers

Questions & Answers

What are the compatibility options for the shield with the Nano and Mega ?

It has the form factor of the Arduino UNO, so it should be compatible In addition to the Arduino nano, you can use the Arduino nano, but you must physically wire the pins up

I want to make sure this item arrives in good condition. Let's do this! It's anti- I would like to see at least a static film! Do you agree?

The answer to that has always been yes.

Selected User Reviews For Sparkfun Spectrum Shield

This seems to work fine
4/5

The purpose of my project is to synchronize lights and audio using the Arduino programming language. In order to sync with the bass and treble, I can grab the different audio bands with this tool A separate string for each treble.

It's pretty easy to use all in all. You can learn a lot about computer coding by looking at Sparkfun's code examples online If you are familiar with software development, you could be up-and-running within a couple of minutes. It isn't quite as tight as I would like they aren't as tight as I'd like them to be There is a considerable amount of overlap among these two categories. In addition, the gain on each band seems to be a little different, which is something I was able to account for in my Arduino program. Despite its small size, it is a helpful While I listed a few complaints, they are not major, and this is far easier and faster than building a high-end system from scratch A pass and a fail The low-income This will pass the The software would be a good fit for me if I had another project involving.

It is an excellent shield
5/5

I was able to turn my project from cool to amazing because of this shield. I only have one slight issue which has nothing to do with Sparkfun, which is the lack of example code from the community. With my lightshow parties, I've got the coolest lightshow Those who think they may need this product should check it out. You can buy this product for a pretty penny and it's pretty cool!.

Audio board that is easy to use. A good quality soldering iron that is easy to use.

It is easy to set up an Arduino project which responds to audio spectrum - you just need to follow these steps
4/5

This is a good way to get audio spectrum content on an Arduino. It uses a pair of ASICs whose task is to look at the spectrum of the audio source (for instance, the headphone jack) and sample the audio spectrum on each stereo channel. Per channel, this is binned in 7 frequency bins. An ASIC outputs an analog voltage proportional to the amplitude of the audio content derived from the clock pin using a digital line voltage - as measured using the analog input on the Arduino - by hitting the clock pin with a digital pulse. Throughout the seven spectral bins, it steps through the two audio inputs. It is stereo, which means that it must use two audio inputs. A couple of issues with this board In addition to its 5V I/O compatibility, the board is designed to work exclusively with 5V. Due to the fact that the ASICs are actually able to run down to 3V, cutting the 5V line where the power comes from and connecting into the IOREF line will make it work either at These Arduinos work on 3 V. You can see an example of this in the There is a second issue that it doesn't come with headers or solder points. In all of my purchases, this is the only shield that didn't come with extras. They provided a small perf area for prototyping other things as well, which is nice.
