    Intro: Blinking LEDs to the Frequency of Music
    Hey guys, in this tutorial I will be showing you exactly how I set up my Arduino board to take a standard audio input and then flash a set of LEDs based on the frequency
    of the music playing.

    Here's a short video of it in action:

    YouTube

    Step 1: Materials Needed


    Here's a list of what materials you need and where to get them:

    Note: I'm a big fan of Tayda Electronics, as their materials are very cheap and they usually post 15% off discounts on their Facebook Page.

    1 x Breadboard
    1 x 12V 5A power supply
    note: this depends on how long you want your LED strip to be, I find that 5A is plenty for 5 meters, it could probably even handle more since you'll be fading between
    colors instead of having everything on maximum. Here's a look link to how I figured out the current draw: link
    1 x LED strip (waterproof and nice 1M long strip here , super cheap and ok-quality 5M here )
    1 x Audio Jack
    3 x 10k resistors
    1 x 220k resistor
    1 x 33pf ceramic capacitor
    2 x 100nf ceramic capacitor
    1 x 10nf ceramic capacitor
    1 x Arduino (I used a sparkfun-branded RedBoard , but an Arduino Uno would work fine
    1 x 3.5mm audio cable
    1 x MSGEQ7
    3 x N-channel MOSFET Transistors
    Many x male to male jumper cables

    Computer with Arduino Software Installed

    Image Notes
    1. 12V 5A Power
    2. Headphone Splitter
    3. LED Strip
    4. Breadboard
    5. Male to Male Jumper Cables
    6. Arduino
    7. Audio Jack
    8. Ceramic Capacitors
    9. Resistors
    10. MOSFET Transistors
    11. MSGEQ7
    12. 3.5mm male to male audio cable

    Step 2: Setting Up the Circuit
    Look at the attached picture for details. I used a combination of:

    The RGB LED strip tutorial from Adafruit

    The MSGEQ7 tutorial from skoba

    I also attached my Fritzing file if you want to look at it.

    Step 3: Setting Up the Script


    I attached my script, let me know if you have any trouble with it. It's pretty straight-forward. Upload it to your Arduino and you should be good to go!

    Here's also a pastebin of my code:

    [NOTE: When saving, if you see .tmp as the file ext, rename it to 'msgeq7-led-code.ino']
    Step 4: Good to Go!
