    Candle flicker led schematics?

    You could also just buy some of those LED tea-light candles. Some do have the flicker circuit built into the LED itself.

    Re: Music VU Meter

    Ummm, yeah. Clipping in mobile audio is minimized by proper gain settings so clipping isn't an issue. This allows the true measurement of a VU meter. __________________________________ The purpose of the gain is to match the signal volts RMS coming from the source (CD player, etc.) to the...

    Re: Music VU Meter

    OMG!!!!  It's obvious you don't know how a TRUE VU meter works. It's supposed to be analog since music is analog as is my meter (as close as possible visually). IT WORKS THE WAY I DESIGNED AND WANT IT TO, GEEEEEZ!!! LET IT REST!!!!!!

    Smallest possible LED stoplight circuit

    This is about as simple as it gets for a real traffic light if that's what you're after.

    Re: Music VU Meter

    I don't need them to, that's the difference. Why complicate a "SIMPLE CIRCUIT" that works just fine for what I need? If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I am working on an adjustable PWM for my internal LEDs using an AVR, probably an ATTINY2313.

    Re: Music VU Meter

    Try going by what I have connected instead of what I have drawn. It's apparent you don't understand the advantages of making LEDs efficient. My LEDs are lit for half the time because I wanted the efficiency. My LEDs are just fine, but thanks anyway. The effect is still there...

    Re: Music VU Meter

    WOW!!!!! My photos at Photobucket have NEVER disappeared in the 3 years I've used it. Never had a problem with them, maybe it's your ISP causing your problems. What green LEDs are you talking about? There are no green LEDs in that circuit whatsoever. Never have been. NONE!  AND as I've...

    Re: Music VU Meter

    The first schematic didn't use green LEDs, all I had were yellow and red to test my prototype. The actual output of the LM3916s drives 3906 transistors to run blue and yellow/red LEDs. All home made. I've had my photos at photobucket for over two years with no problems and only change...

    Re: Music VU Meter

    Not too shabby for a "too simple of a circuit". Notice the blur, I sure don't. Oh, and the chips don't get hot either. Where do get all that from? ________________________________ The whole story. http://s81.photobucket.com/albums/j230/sparky3489/VU%20Meter/...
