Thanks for the help so far, but the post that was supplied (although seems good for the wiring that I'm still a bit stuck with) the outcome is not to have a visual LED panel of sound, but to project the light like a light bulb would but through the use of numerous LEDs. The project is to react to people talking in a small space, or clapping etc with a light that would fill the room.
I have that microphone, but I am confused as to how to wire it to the arduino and then how I would wire the output of the LED in (I have wired output LEDs a few times before to use a strobe which was a just a simple set up using LEDs and resistors going into pin 3 and grounded, I just wish I understood more about the pin 3 pin 13 situation...)
As you can probably tell I'm only weeks into Arduinos and not much longer into any electronics to be honest...
The microphone has 4 pins unlike the ones in the links that have three and I only really know the positive due to the plus. The others are a bit lost on me...
Anyway any help is very much appreciated as I previously said. Sorry if I seem a bit clueless but to be honest I am, although the help that I gain will be going towards my final project for my degree so thats why its a bit of a steep learning curve at the moment.
Many thanks
