Here’s a little design I made inspired by Lars Niklas posting about making a VU meter.
I don’t have a setup to feed my arduino an audio signal at the moment so just used random8() to generate “volume” levels and made up something fun. Code here:

@Michael_Sime Cool. On code lines 67 and 77, instead of dividing by 5 and 8, if you make those numbers smaller it will have a sharper ramp up and down. And if you increase the value on line 102 it will also make the ramp down faster.
