****WARNING!!! THIS VIDEO CONTAINS SOME SEIZURE INDUCING STROBE LIGHTS EFFECT.****

After a month of hiatus because I got my hands full with my freelance work and don't really have time to make the script, record videos, voice overs, and do editing stuff.

I figured, I might as well just concentrate on my work and take a rest. Gotta' pay the bills. Lol.

I also made a new intro video using After Effects while taking a break on editing this video on Premiere.

So, yeah, that's it for the update.

I bought this one online from circuitrocks.

I have decided to buy a module instead of an IC, to make my life easier.

The IC is detachable anyway, so, I can still use it without the module whenever I wanted to.

The DFRobot link contains Technical Specifications, Connection Diagrams and a Sample Code.

DFRobot Link: dfrobot.com/wiki/index.php/Audio_Analyzer_v2_SKU:DFR0126 (Don't worry, I'm not an affiliate.)

I saw the code link that I used from Username: "Liz Clark"s video.

Here's the link: youtube.com/watch?time_continue=12&v=7DjFRUclQLw

Which led me to this website "Bald Engineer"

Here's the link: baldengineer.com/msgeq7-simple-spectrum-analyzer.html

Which led me to pastebin.
