Guide DigiMeter - LED System Activity Bar-Graph/Chaser - SOFTWARE v1.7

heres mine:

 

by the way. is it possible to use usb -> parralel port adapter instead of the parralel port on the mobo. my port is fryed

 

and also another question: how about making something like a filter inside a loudspeaker with 5 speakers so each speaker get it's on signal range like tweeter, mid-tweeter, mid-speaker, mid-subwoofer and subwoofer and use 10 of these mono cirtruit (spellbook) http://www.gideontech.com/content/articles/210/1. like 5 for left and 5 for right with the filter so it's looks like winamps vu meter just in stereo. hope your understand

 

we talked about that a few pages ago. Its very possible, and I still plan on making one, but with having current multiple projects and like no cash right now its been put on hold. Smoguz linked to a simple bandpass filter you could use to get the different ranges.

 

i was just wondering if there's a guide for doing things with a parallel port. personally, i want to control my RC car's simple controller with it, and have no idea where to start

 

i saw somewhere a chip you could solder to a parralel port and you got 6 triacs (the modern thing of relay) then you could solder it inside the rc cars controller and use the comp instead of the rc cars controller

 

would you be able to google around for it? i stand a poor chance of finding it with what little i actually know about it.

So what about winamp problem solvin?

 

You know what got me thinking? A Fairchild LM75M08.

How about a serial version? Once you've done a serial version, doing it with I2C two-wire serial becomes trivial, and then you can hack it into SMBus.

 

does anyone have a mirror of the download that isnt suspended, and can you use something like a vu meter instead of leds?

 

quick question. I have LEDs that are 2.1v and rated for 10mA, so i calculated i need a 330 ohm resistor. if i have 8 connected will i be ok, or do i run the risk of damaging my port? i think im ok but i wanted the "experts" approval before i buy and make it.

 

is the original part of this thread dead??? since i cant see the pics that acrimonious has posted

 

I have a few problem with the simplified circuit,the circuit with resistance and diodes only...

During the booot all led areon but when windows load the leds are all off!
And the software doesn't resolve the problem...

Why?

 

Keep this thread alive, think this is a great little mod made one yonks ago

but on a recient XP upgrade i cant seem to get the software to work, i just get the windows error window...anyone have any ideas????

 

I can't see the picures.
Can u upload them again?

 

would anyone be intrested in making 5 or 6 of these up with diffrent colour leds, ones that work from a sound card please, if anyone is intrested in making some up for me eamil me at kylelnsn@gmail.com email me with a cost,postage and additional fees aswell as avaliable colours.

tahnks guys looking foward to hearing from you! Kyle

 

He's given a guide on how to make it, wouldn't it be cheaper to follow it instead of getting someone else to make it?

 

and when you say work with a soundcard i think you want VU meters. just google lm3915 and that should give you what you want

 

i dont wish to make one myslef as i have not go the skill, so if anyone could please create a few and or show me a picture guide on how to then i would be extremly gratful?

any help on this?

Both of those guides offer great guides on making LED meters for parallel port. Hopefully you can figure it out with their help.
