Hey everyone!
So I have looked up and down MANY different pages (spent about 6 hours last night) looking for an answer.
So, I would like to see what kind of hardware I would need to build a system, probably a micrologix 1200 or 1500, that would control an LED Globe ( like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQhBm_EgB0w ) and that would respond to an audio signal (ie music).
Now, I've looked around, but still not sure. The 1794-IJ2 flex I/O module from AB is the closest thing to what I'm looking for. It's a frequency I/O card. So, using this, I would look for frequency and compare (IE less than 400 hz = Blue light is ON) and so on and so forth through the music.
I found a forum that they are talking about something similar to it, but that's based off of voltage. That means, the parts of the song that are louder, are recognized, as opposed to the frequency in the music like the range of a bass guitar VS a trumpet idea ( http://forums.mrplc.com/index.php?showtopic=22126 ).
Is this even possible, or am I just dreaming?
Thanks for the input!
