Hey there,
I am pretty much complete with my project. The last thing I want to do is change my coding so that my LEDs all react to sound in general, or lower frequencies, like bass and drums etc. At the moment the code that I'm using pretty much makes it a VU meter. I'm using an adafruit Flora as the controller and there are three strips attached to that. Like I said it all works, but I'm so code illiterate, it isn't funny, and the research I've been doing for the past week has lead me to nothing better. Would appreciate any push in the right direction.
Thanks
Jack
This is the code in case the attachment doesn't work:
/* LED "Color Organ" for Adafruit Trinket and NeoPixel LEDs.
Hardware requirements:
- Adafruit Trinket or Gemma mini microcontroller (ATTiny85).
- Adafruit Electret Microphone Amplifier (ID: 1063)

o Adafruit NeoPixel Digital LED strip (ID: 1138)
o Adafruit Neopixel Ring (ID: 1463)
Software requirements:
- Adafruit NeoPixel library
Connections:
- 5 V to mic amp +
- GND to mic amp -
- Analog pinto microphone output (configurable below)
- Digital pin to LED data input (configurable below)
