Step 4: Wiring Up the MSGEQ7 Chip

Pretty simple circuit, just follow these instructions to connect it up to the arduino. I used custom cut lengths of wire to  keep everything neat on the breadboard but whatever works for you. Pins used are the same as in the schematic below. I forgot to take a photo here so I am using one from later on so ignore everything else on the breadboard. Also I apologize for the 90° rotation, my computer is wigging out and won't let me rotate it.

What pin did you run the lights to. The external link is not working.

The data line from the lights is connected to digital pin 4 on the Arduino. If that doesn't work, make sure you have everything wired up correctly. Sometimes breadboards don't make good contact with wires so try "wiggling things around" and see if that works.

Found it in the code after I asked. Thanks for the reply.
