Circuit Diagram & Other Details

Please Note: there is a little error in the circuit diagram shared. Please connect the Anode (+) of the LED to the 12 volt & Cathode (-) of the LED to the two way switch.

For construction of this project we are using LM324 which is an Quadruple Operational Amplifier. In our case, out of 4 we are using only 2. The LM324 is arranged to be an comparator.

The 2 way switch is used to select the modes. There are two modes

Light Mode : this is the normal mode. directly connected
Audio Mode: in this mode the LED light reacts according to the music or sound

The pot is used to select the brightness of the LED Strip when it is in Audio Mode. The pot is optional.

Note : in my circuit i have connected R1 with 90k & 10k in series to make it 100k ohm.
