    PCB: • LM3914 vs LM3915 vs LM...
    In this video, the three ICs (LM3914 - LM3915 - LM3916) are compared... and what will be the best to realize a Vu-Meter?
    The main differences between these ICs are:
    • The LM3914 is a linear display.
    • The LM3915 is a 3db increments logarithmic display.
    • The LM3916 is a VU-Meter display. (-20 to +3db)
    And from this we deduce that:
    The LM3914 is typically used to create a voltage display using 10 LEDs, while the LM3915 and LM3916 are typically used to display audio signal using 10 LEDs... And now that I've explained everything to you, SUBSCRIBE =)

    Hi! very nice comparison you got there! I experienced some problems with the 3915 and 3916 chips. the thing is that I could not get the dot mode to work, I always had bar mode, it didn't matter if I left pin 9 open, conected to vcc or to ground, always the same result. the differences with your schematics were that I did not use rectification at the audio in, I had pin 8 direct to ground and the resistor between pins 6 and 7 and gfround was 1k instead of 2k2. does any of that sound like a possible issue to get the dot mode working? the other problm I had was that the first couple leds, flickered.. easily seen in the first couple leds that send a lot of time on when audio is playing. Thanks a ton in advance!!

      Hi, To make a DOT/BAR LED Vu-Meter with LM3915/16 you can use one of the schemes of these two projects:
      1) 10 LED: ruclips.net/video/X_na_WOfasw/видео.html
      2) 20 LED: ruclips.net/video/Ex3waFdQrHY/видео.html
      NB: In second project if you want to connect the vu-meter directly to the amplifier, ignore the schematic part with LM386

    • @Stefano91ste
      @Stefano91ste  6 лет назад

      In linea teorica si, potrebbe funzionare.. in pratica non ne ho la certezza, non avendo mai realizzato una cosa del genere..
      lo schema usato nel video va bene, configurato così LM3914 varia l'accensione dei led in base al voltaggio che riceve in input.

    • @Stefano91ste
      @Stefano91ste  6 лет назад +1

      Hi, Thanks you!!
      To reach the bar and the dot in the same graphic display you have to put a switch between pin 9 and + of the power supply..
      With the switch ON you will have the BAR mode, while with the switch OFF you will have the DOT mode.

    Hey there, nice video. I need to make a battery tester for a school project using the LM3914. We need to be able to measure 3 different batteries and be able to switch between the different batteries. (1,5V 3V, 4,5V) I was wondering how the IC passes the information so that the LEDS light up. I guess I need to make a normal battery tester and then add a switch with a few resistors? I'm not really sure pretty new to electronics. Anyways loved the video see you!

    • @Stefano91ste
      @Stefano91ste  5 лет назад

      To connect a meter to different batteries just a switch is enough to select which battery to measure.. however 1,5 and 3V are too low for an LM3914.. only the first leds would light up - I hope I understand what you want to do :)

    • @jansteen5640
      @jansteen5640 5 лет назад

      @@Stefano91ste Thanks for your awnser. However in my project it is strictly required to also be able to measure 3V and 1,5V. And we only get a 3914 and other stuff like resistors switches and LED's. Aren't you able to adjust voltage references in some way to still make it read the right percent of voltage? I don't know it, but there must be a way to measure the low volt battery's. Because this project has been around for years at my school. And other students were also able to make it work.

      Funzionamento: ruotando una maniglia agganciata al mandrino, si fa ruotare il motore, il motore produce corrente che viene tenuta stabile a 12v tramite un regolatore di tensione ed un bel condensatore.
      In fine dimostri che è in grado di ricaricare un cellulare usando un caricatore usb da 12volt.
