I&amp;#39;m Natasha. Welcome! 
This is the beginning of 10 blog posts featuring each video in my series on animating LEDs with micro:bit and Make Code. I created these tutorials with artists and creatives in mind.

&lt;p&gt;If so, I think there is an oversight in your original Arduino version.&amp;nbsp;You appear to be sending a line level audio signal directly into an analogue input without shifting or rectifying it first. Might get better results by looking at adding a simple peak envelope detector circuit.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Have you tried some Neopixel wearables on your arms and legs radio synchronised to the animations on the bike and helmet ?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=27808&amp;AppID=243&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Learn to Animate LEDs with micro:bit, NeoPixels, and Microsoft Make Code, the series!</title><link>https://community.element14.com/learn/learning-center/stem-academy/microbit/microbit-tutorial-videos/b/blog/posts/animating-leds</link><pubDate>Sat, 30 Mar 2024 18:45:44 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:91854c23-dbf7-4f9b-a868-ad249e3fd826</guid><dc:creator>DAB</dc:creator><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><description>&lt;p&gt;Sounds like a fun project.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=27808&amp;AppID=243&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
