To start off, thanks to the video sponsor: JLCPCB for sponsoring this project. JLCPCB Prototype for $2 (Any Color): jlcpcb.com/DYE
In this video we take a look at an early prototype I've been working on to make a digital vu meter that has an analog meter style with more realistic mechanical physics. I was inspired by a similar recent project on hackaday, but wanted to add some improvements I thought would make for a more convincing digital analog-lookalike meter. This is basically only a tech demo and there's a long way to go till we reach a finished project so let me know of any ideas you guys have in the comments below.
Check out the project logs for more technical info including theory and code: hackaday.io/project/181004-digital-vu-meter-with-analog-physics
