Step 1: Making The LED Lights Dance To Your Music: Headphone

This document describes how to use an Arduino to control LED lights based on sound input and control relays. For the LED project, an Arduino reads sound from a headphone jack and uses the analog input to control 4 LEDs on digital pins based on sound volume. For the relay project, a 4-channel relay module is connected to an Arduino to control external devices by connecting the relay common and normally open pins to devices and controlling the relay coils with Arduino digital pins. Code is provided to test turning each relay on and off individually.

Step 1: Making the LED lights dance to your music

Objective here is to use the A/D converter on Arduino to read input sound and
light up a set LEDs to reflect the level of the sounds volume. The LEDs are
controlled from Digital pins 3, 4, 5,6. They are turned on based on what the
level of input is from the Analog 0 pin, which is connected to theHEADPHONE
jack.

Parts:

1x Arduino
4x LEDs
4x 390 ohm resistors
1x 10k trimpot
1xHEADPHONE jack
1x 10uF Capacitor
//LED LIGHT dance
#define soundpin 8 // reads the power from theLIGHT sensor from
Analog input 0
#define LED1 3 // 4 Leds LED's on Digital output pins 3,4,5,6
#define LED2 4
#define LED3 5
#define LED4 6
int sound;
void setup()
{
// initialize the serial communications:
Serial.begin(9600);
// Provide power by using the analog inputs as normal digital pins.
pinMode(soundpin, INPUT);
pinMode(LED1, OUTPUT);
pinMode(LED2, OUTPUT);
pinMode(LED3, OUTPUT);
pinMode(LED4, OUTPUT);
}
void loop()
{
sound=analogRead(soundpin); // this samples the sound constantly
if((sound)>200)
{
digitalWrite(LED1,HIGH); // set the LEDs on
digitalWrite(LED2,HIGH);
digitalWrite(LED3,HIGH);

}
else if((sound)>150)

Step 2: Interfacing the relay modules to the Arduino

Relays work on electromagnetism, When the Relay coil is energized


it acts like a magnet and changes the position of a switch. The
circuit which powers the coil is completely isolated from the part
which switches ON/OFF, This provides electrical isolation. This is the
reason we can control a relay using 5V's from an arduino and the
other end of it could be running an 230V appliance, the 230V end is
completely isolated from the 5V arduino circuitry.

To connect the 4 Relay board to an Arduino is very easy and allows


you to turn on and off an wide range of devices, both AC and DC.
The first to connections are the ground and power pins, You need to
connect the Arduino +5v to the 4 Relay board VCC pin and the
Arduino ground to the 4 Relay board GND pin. Then its a only a
matter of just connecting the communication pins, labeled IN1, IN2,
IN3 and IN4, two 4 data pinson the Arduino.In the example code
below we used Arduino pins 7, 8 , 9, 10. Its a good idea to avoid
using Data pins 0 and 1 as they are used by the Arduino for serial
communication and can cause problems when uploading code to the
Arduino.

The default state of the relay when the power is off for COMM
(power) to be connected to NC (normally closed), this is the
equivalent of setting the 4 Relay boards IN pin to HIGH (has +5v
sent to it) It is a safety feature to notuse the NC connector in-case
you Arduino looses power it will automatically turns off all the
devices connected to the relay. When you have something
connected to the relays NO (Normally Open) connector and you set
the corresponding IN pin to LOW (0v), power will flow in from the
COMM connector and out of the NO connectorpowering your device..

Above: Example of connecting power and lights to a relays COM and


NO connectors.
Below: Connecting to the Arduino.
// Basic 4 Realy board connection
// Each relay is turned on for 2 seconds and then off.
// You can here them click as there state changes from off to on and
on to
// off.
// You will also see the corresponding Red LED on the 4 Relay board
// light up when the relay is on.
// define names for the 4 Digital pins On the Arduino
// These data pins link to 4 Relay board pins IN1, IN2, IN3,
IN4
#define RELAY1 6
#define RELAY2 7
#define RELAY3 8
#define RELAY4 9
void setup()
{
// Initialise the Arduino data pins for OUTPUT
pinMode(RELAY1, OUTPUT);
pinMode(RELAY2, OUTPUT);
pinMode(RELAY3, OUTPUT);
pinMode(RELAY4, OUTPUT);
}
void loop()
{
digitalWrite(RELAY1,LOW); // Turns ON Relays 1
delay(2000); // Wait 2 seconds
digitalWrite(RELAY1,HIGH); // Turns Relay Off
digitalWrite(RELAY2,LOW); // Turns ON Relays 2
delay(2000); // Wait 2 seconds
digitalWrite(RELAY2,HIGH); // Turns Relay Off
digitalWrite(RELAY3,LOW); // Turns ON Relays 3
delay(2000); // Wait 2 seconds
digitalWrite(RELAY3,HIGH); // Turns Relay Off
digitalWrite(RELAY4,LOW); // Turns ON Relays 4
delay(2000); // Wait 2 seconds
digitalWrite(RELAY4,HIGH); // Turns Relay Off
}
