  1. AG, I notice you show a 7.8V supply. I neglected to mention that I have a 5V supply I found on Ebay, will that work? How does that change the resistor values? Thanks CK
  2. Thank you very much, I will give it a shot.
  3. Hi Everybody, I am a newbie here. I am looking to make a "giant" VU meter. I took a piece of PVC pipe 3" in diameter and 5 feet tall. I cross-drilled 2" PVC and mounted a 1 watt Luxeon star in the bottom of each tube. Audioguru's sound level meter is exactly what I want, with the microphone input so I don't have to plug it into my stereo. It does not have to be accurate, I just want it to "dance" to the beat. I have attached a picture with the LEDs just hooked to a power supply. What I need now is to adapt Audioguru's circuit to power the large LEDs. They run on 3.84 volts at 350mA. Since the LM3915 has regulated current output for LEDs, I assume I can hook a transistor (PNP I think?) up in place of the LEDs, which will switch the big LEDs on and off. Can someone give me advice on this? Be very specific, I am an electronics novice. Thanks CK1
