You have built this awesome UV Tower, DUAL tower no doubt, and I see that you said it is connected to the audio out but its NOT connected to the head phone jack, and you did NOT show the connection... AND you have a second board under the Pine and didn't show that, OR what it is doing!!! TEASE!!!! I swear you did it on purpose to make me ask! HAHAHAHAHAHA So make with the photos and explanation, that looks freaking sweet! My guess is maybe your plugged in to the Euler header? I see there is an earoutp on pin 31 but I don't know for sure that it is an audio output.
I am trying to figure out how to access these headers inside of android/ubuntu and have not found much guide for it... AT ALL really.
Ok, now I am done calling you out, haha, So looking at that did you leave the electronix portion of the towers open on purpose? I see that they are not perfectly centered in terms of the Legos so it may not function to close them in all the way... unless you used transparent/translucent blocks... did you think of something like that at all? I have several ideas that would make sure the light from the LEDs didn't bleed up through the other pieces... If your interested I could model it up on the Lego cad program...
I really like it, but darn you for being a tease! OH and not to mention you didnt link the UV parts! Is the wireing on them factory or did you do that?! Now I know I have to wait until probably late tonight well.... very early in the morning tomorrow most likely before finding out! Unless your a night owl.... HA I will pay you back for this one! hahahahaha
Well good evening to you too
in advance; sorry for any typos. have been watching a movie and enjoying a nice bottle of wine
Sorry for the lack of linking and description of the VU towers. Didn't mean to be a tease, but then again, why not
The VU-meters are complete from the seller (not much geek there) and they are found here...
The control unit is just simply hot wired into the two buttons on the VU-meter (sensitivity and program) and also connected so I control both sides at the same time with the same buttons.
The control unit is simply power in (micro USB), line in/line out (2x3.5mm jack connectors) and a IR receiver (not connected yet) that can receive IR signal from a remote to control the VU's.
I have built in the boards now and this is how it looks
When it comes to connecting the audio signals I must admit I have cheated
The Pine is connected to my stereo with HDMI, and the VU-towers gets the audio source from the amp. NOT from the Pine directly.
Sorry to disappoint you.
As a last statement; I do know the VU-towers looks like a rainbow on LSD but then again thats the Legos I had available.
