The through-hole only version of Audio Interface is now available for Aurora 12 bar, Aurora 9×18 mk2 and Aurora 18×18.
Now those who are not into surface mount soldering can build Aurora color organ (or VU meter)!
The circuit is exactly the same as the original surface mount version of Audio Interface.
You can watch the video here.
The interface goes between the power cable and Aurora, using Molex 3 pin connectors. The interface has a 3.5mm stereo audio jack, so you can connect any audio output. There’s a potentiometer to adjust the sensitivity level as well.
Aurora 12 bar, Aurora 9×18 mk2 and Aurora 18×18 have audio or “color organ” modes, which you can select by either pushing the on board button or using a remote control (remote not on Aurora 12 bar).
