Hello, Anyone tried to run a Galactic Unicorn as a VU meter? It will need some kind of audio sampling interface.

Have you seen the Blunicorn software (for using Galactic / Cosmic as a Bluetooth speaker?) It’s written in C++, but you might be able to use some of the audio visualiser stuff :) [image] GitHub - Gadgetoid/galactic-bluetooth-audio Contribute to Gadgetoid/galactic-bluetooth-audio develop…

Yes hel, I did see that and ran it. I like it a lot but you need to play music through the Unicorn. I was thinking of an audio interface and software to use the board as a visualiser. That example you mentioned is awesome,but I am not that good at programming. I was hoping that someone already trie…

I believe it should be doable. If you Google “Pi Pico audio visualiser” you’ll find projects such as the one linked below: [image] Raspberry Pi Pico Used in DIY Audio Spectrum Analyzer Now you can build your own audio visualizer. So the hard part is just fig…

Thank you,I appreciate the pointer. I’ll have a look.

Did you get anywhere with this? I’ve just got a Galactic Unicorn and was going to have a play with it.

No,I got very busy and I was waiting for fall/winter when things are quieter to try something. But if you get there before me I would certainly appreciate an update.

Phil Howard @gadgetoid did a vu meter on a Galactic Unicorn. And I do believe it was via Bluetooth? I saw it on his Twitter account a while back. Message him on Twitter and he will likely share his code. Or message him here.

Think that was what @hel linked to earlier?

ops, yes your right. Missed it somehow, too early in the morning, lol. Carry on, nothing to see here. =(

I only realised because I tried posting the link myself and the forum let me know I’d been beaten to it :-)
