LED Indicator Triggered by Audio

Edited

This guide shows how to light an LED automatically when audio reaches a defined threshold.


1. Hardware

Wire the LED to the GPIO Output on the GPIO Card
(Follow the wiring reference for correct polarity and pin selection.)


2. Software

Step 1 - Add required modules

Add the following blocks to your project:

  • Audio Source

  • Audio Signal to Control

  • Control to Logic

  • GPIO Output Card

Step 2 - Configure GPIO

Open the GPIO Output Card and assign the correct GPIO channel that the LED is connected to.

Step 3 - Set the audio threshold

In the Audio Signal to Control module:

  • Open Object Properties

  • Adjust the threshold level where the LED should activate

This threshold determines the point at which audio is considered “active.”


3. Test

Play audio and verify LED behavior:

  • Audio above threshold → LED lights up

  • Audio below threshold → LED turns off

This confirms that the LED is responding correctly to signal level.
