Hi again, I have a little question about op amps and using them as ''Adders''.
I currently study EE and Communications Engineering but our class still hasnt gone to the point of op amps. We will get there by the end of this semester. But we are asked to do a projects about everything we've learned in the past classes. My idea for the project is rock stage/platform light system.
The project will have many modules but one of them is a VU-meter. The issue is that rock bands usually have at least 5 active instruments at once, and I need a single VU meter.
Can I add the 5 signals using an OP AMP and then inserting the sum'ed signal to the VU-Meter IC?
Keep in mind that i don't want to use the mixed signal to listen to the music, I just want it to go to the VU meter.
Im using a LM3914 Driver for the VU meter.
