Hey guys,
First off, I've read a couple of the "LED music sync" threads on here, and it's also been a few years since my intro-level EE course in college.
I'm looking to do some wiring in my house to compliment my newly-constructed bar and speaker shelves. Essentially, I want to wire up 2 sets of LEDs, one with a constant-power source, and the other to utilize a phono jack from either an MP3 player or computer to trigger the 2nd set while using a low-pass filter to restrict it to bass hits. Also, I'd ideally like there to be a pass-thru for the 3.5mm phono jack so i could send the audio to the amp without using a splitter.
I'd also like this to have 2 pots to use as "dimmers" for each circuit along with switches...
The LED's I have are:
-24 3.5V blue LEDs (preferably 8 parallel branches with 3 LEDs in series on each branch) for the constant-on set
-16 3.3V white LEDs (8 parallel branches with 2 on each) for the bass-response set
I'd like if both could run off the same power supply, but it's the circuitry and calculation work that I need some help with. I've got a pretty solid concept for the end-product, I could just use some help form you all. I'll attach an image of what I'm kind of getting at.
