The code below is the Ampli-Tie modification. It does not use a peak dot. With my microphone, I had noise issues, so the noise level is rather high. You can adjust values in the code to suit your project.
/* LED "Color Organ" for Adafruit Trinket and NeoPixel LEDs.
Hardware requirements:
- Adafruit Trinket or Gemma mini microcontroller (ATTiny85).
- Adafruit Electret Microphone Amplifier (ID: 1063)
- Several Neopixels, you can mix and match
o Adafruit Flora RGB Smart Pixels (ID: 1260)
o Adafruit NeoPixel Digital LED strip (ID: 1138)
o Adafruit Neopixel Ring (ID: 1463)
Software requirements:
- Adafruit NeoPixel library
Connections:
- 5 V to mic amp +
- GND to mic amp -
- Analog pinto microphone output (configurable below)
- Digital pin to LED data input (configurable below)
