8 LED VU meter made of IC-LM324.

This circuit can be used to display the variation of an audio signal in a group of 8 LEDs, behaving like a VU meter. We could use an specific integrated circuit used for VU meters, but we decided to use a readily available integrated circuit: The LM324 op amp.

Car battery monitor circuit using 4 LEDs

This simple Car battery monitor, allow us to know the voltage of the battery at all times. To achieve this 4 leds are placed somewhere on the dash of the car. Each LED has a label indicating the battery voltage at that time.

Temperature gauge circuit using the LM324 IC

The temperature level is displayed using 4 LEDs:
A green LED indicates that the temperature is OK.
Two yellow LEDs indicate that the temperature is higher than normal.
A red LED indicates that the temperature is very high
