About this project

So as a beginner I have practiced with the sound sensor and LED. After some practice, I decided to create an 8x LED system with a sound detector. It could be an interesting project for beginners like me.

The values of LEDs could be set individually by you. Also, do not forget to set the sensitivity of the sound sensor. I adding some instructions on how to set the sensitivity of the sound sensor below. The third image shows the monitoring of the sound sensor values. By these values, the code is set when to react to the sound.
