SPECKY BOARD ONE AND SPECKY BOARD TWO
NOW AVAILABLE
I am now producing specky-boards in limited quantities. if you have interest in getting kit-parts please drop me a message via the contact page. a SPECKY-BOARD ONE kit would include the following:
Arduino Mega 2560 Compatible, pre-loaded with 14 channel Spec Analyzer software
5 Volt Smart LED strip (One 16.4 foot roll with 300 LED's)
4 Amp 5 Volt Power Supply
Boost Converter
Specky-Board Version One (Assembled and tested)
Gain control potentiometer
Wire harness
​
This revision 3 board addresses 14 distinct bands. It has dedicated 3.3v to 5v buffer IC's for logic level translation, which will provide improved, rock-solid, clock performance. Also offers a pass-thru to connect a gain control potentiometer. The pot is inserted after summing of Left & Right channels has occured to keep wiring to pot minimal. Tall header pins have been left in certain locations so that advanced end-users can add functions via buttons or other controls. It precisely straddles a typical Arduino Mega 2560.
​
End-user will need to provide an enclosure for electronics, an enclosure or mounting system for LED segments, connecting wire and their choice of termination jacks (ie RCA jacks for audio, barrel connectors for power, etc.)
Basic soldering skills required to cut LED strip into segments and join with quality wire.
Unit is designed to be run off of line level outputs of a consumer pre-amplifier or receiver.
THE SPECKY-BOARD IS NOT DESIGNED TO BE USED DIRECTLY WITH SPEAKER LEVEL OUTPUTS. Using speaker level outputs WILL result in damage to Specky-Board AND/OR source amplifer.
​
I am also selling hard to find IC's, such as MSGEQ7 in SMD form for those designing their own projects. The MSGEQ7 in SMD form offers superior noise rejection performance. There is no minimum quantity for ordering IC's. Each IC is $4.50 plus shipping.
​
For the protection of both parties, parts may be purchased from me through Paypal, via their invoicing system. I have been a Paypal member for over 20 years and have an impeccable service record with them.
new aDDITION: SPECKY BOARD TWO
I am now producing specky-board version 2 in limited quantities. if you have interest in getting kit-parts please drop me a message via the contact page. a SPECKY-BOARD two kit would include the following:
Arduino, pre-loaded with 42 channel Spec Analyzer software
5 Volt Smart LED strips (Four 16 foot rolls with more than 1000 LED's)
4 Amp 5 Volt Power Supply
Boost Converter
Specky-Board Two (Assembled and tested)
Gain control potentiometer
Wire harness

This is an new product. This model addresses 42 distinct bands. Similar to the Specky-Board One, this model also offers a pass-thru to connect a gain control potentiometer. The pot is inserted after summing of Left & Right channels has occured to keep wiring to pot minimal. The SpeckyBoard precisely straddles the Arduino.
