Audio Spectrum Analyzer - August 2008 audio Nuts and Volts
This article describes the construction and operation of a configurable audio spectrum analyzer.
The main components are:
- One 132 x 64 pixel graphics LCD
- Four momentary switches to select menu options
- Power supply
- Audio processing circuit
- Microprocessor
The program is written in a dialect of C and consists of several library files and the main program file. There are three printed circuit boards which can be purchased as a set from
FAR Circuits.
Here are the files which you can download for the project:
- Original Text of the Nuts & Volts article
- Source code for the program
- A Readme text file containing a list of all the files
- Schematics
- PCB files for Silk Screens and Vias
- Pictures of the boards
CAUTION
The LCD interface board has a very closely spaced pattern (10 mills). This would not be a good choice as a project for someone who does not have the capability to handle small circuit board spacing.
