I have been having fun with Arduino these days! In this article I am going to show how did I use an electret mic with Arduino to create a Dancing Lights circuit. Dancing Lights   I used to be an eletronician before starting the IT college. I had my own electronics maintenance office to fix television, radios, etc. In my free time I used to create electronic projects to sell and I made a few "reais" selling a version of Dancing lights, but it was too limited: it simply animated lamps using a relay in the output of a 4017 CMOS IC. The circuit was a decimal counter  controlled by a 555. 4017 decimal counter.

But now my pride is gone and I am having a lot of fun with Arduino :-) The implementation of Dancing Lights with Arduino uses an electret mic to capture the sound and light leds...
