VU Meters completed Each channel of this stereo VU meter has 30 independent steps displayed with red LEDs. The control board was etched double sided. Each of the six display segments contain 10 LEDs and was etched from single sided PC board. Ribbon cable is used to connect the control board to each of the six display segments. I built a couple of extras as shown in the picture. |
