Summary
The project involves creating a digital VU meter for Cornell University's ECE 3140 Embedded Systems course. It uses an Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) on a microcontroller board to convert audio signals into visual feedback via LEDs. The process includes setting up the ADC, calibrating it for accurate signal reading, and developing the main code to map audio signal amplitudes to LED colors. The project required significant debugging to ensure responsiveness and accuracy, with a clear division of tasks and thorough testing to validate performance.
