 {{shifty_vu_shield.jpg?nolink  }} The [[http://macetech.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=4&products_id=11|Shifty VU Shield]] stacks on top of any Arduino with a standard female socket layout. It accepts stereo audio from a computer, CD player, or other audio source. A ShiftBrite header is provided, allowing the Shifty VU shield to visualize the input audio levels on a chain of RGB LED modules. Using the Arduino IDE, any LED visual effect can be synchronized with music or other audio. {{shifty_vu_shield.jpg?nolink  }} The [[http://macetech.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=4&products_id=11|Shifty VU Shield]] stacks on top of any Arduino with a standard female socket layout.

 +====== Assembly ======
 +The passthrough headers are provided not soldered in place, to reduce damage in shipping and more flexible usage options for our customers. The headers must be soldered to the shield, as seen in the photo above. A good connection will not be made if the headers are merely poked through the shield into the Arduino, without soldering. This accounts for many of our tech support issues with the Shifty VU Shield.
