Updated Example Code
The VU meter used in this tutorial has been updated. The
preValueis initialized at the top as a global variable since we want to compare the previous VU value. Otherwise, the previous value will constantly be set to "0" when theVUMeter()function is called. As a result of the value being "0", the while loop after// Only print the volume unit value if it changes from previous valuedoes nothing.Resources and Going Further
Sonic Control Using Filters
For sensing certain frequencies, you could use the MEMS microphone with a filter circuit. Here's a good tutorial on filtering out a certain frequency with a bandpass filter => http://www.instructables.com/id/Sonic-Control/?ALLSTEPS.
Awesome, thanks for sharing that resource!
I'm trying to use this microphone to create dancing leds. For this I am using a Tiva C microcontroller, but I am not sure if I have to add additional libraries since the code is not the same as it would be for an arduino
