Not 100% sure if this is the right board to ask, if not I apologize

/g/ seems to only really care about what software/hardware is least shit, and a lot of memes. Someone may know on this board, but I have no idea. Try /diy/ or /wsr/ maybe. Sorry, and good luck.

>you rearrange it so it works into pixel art
what do you mean?
you can make vu meter from leds using microcontroller

Unless you are a magician , you can't do it. That or you will get a serious headache manually soldering cables.

Actually had the same idea. The basic concept is get some strips of LEDs that have controllers built in then wire them to something like a raspi. You can set the raspi up on your network to control it from your phone. I am sure there is software out there that does all of this for you

I would use a microcontroller and WS2812 rgb LEDs, because they have an integrated driver ic and you can communicate over some kind of serial protocol with them. The downside is that the pulses are really short but im shure there a libs for arduino/avr, stm32 ... available.

>Buy
rasberyPi
any shitsmartphone with Android 2.0+
>Install
raspbian
audioplayer
any program u find what can do "pixel art"
hook phone via USB and use its screen as a screen

Did I mention u can plug rasbery into wiFi / ethernet and controll it via network, phone, whatever?
Did I mention rasbery has 20? pins for whatever input output you want, so you can make your led magic?

But still, I think you might just buy some modern audio player to your home and be done with it.

Like >>58283836 said WS2812 RGB LEDs and a micro controller (either Arduino, MSP32, RPi, etc). Adafruit and sparkfun have LED matrices premade for sale, or you can buy the strips and make your own.

You will need to either get a chip that analyzes audio spectrum, or you will need to write software that does it. The IC is the easier route to go unless somebody has already written a library for what you're looking for.
