Hardware connection
- Connect OUT PIN (MAX9814) to PIN 34 (ESP32)
- Using the ESP32’s GPIO pins and through two 74HC translation ICs to push data from the ESP to the Hub75.
Programming ESP32 read Max9814 to control led matrix HUB75
Include Megunolink and Filter library
=> Helps to read the parameters from the Max9814 sound sensor better.
Include led matrix library
- Dependency: You will need to install Adafruit_GFX_Library from the “Library > Manage Libraries” menu.
- Install led matrix library ESP32-RGB64x32 MatrixPanel
=> Help ESP32 scan led better, use DMA to scan higher speed
Use the input sound intensity signal from the Max981 sensor as an output for the LED display to flash along with beautiful music. Depending on your preferences and purposes, adjust the code to be more suitable and beautiful!

In this tutorial, Espitek uses HUB75 type led matrix board, and esp32 led scanning module is designed and separate, so it is difficult for you to find on the market.
Therefore, the purpose of this article is to introduce entertainment technology, and suggest instructions for those who want to DIY their working and studying corners to become more personal.
In addition, you can learn more led modules WS2812 and arduino. There are many tutorials to create LEDs that flash to the music much more vividly and simply.
Possible extensions:
Create a wireless audio module and send it to ESP32 to scan leds to help place music receivers anywhere in the room, cafe, etc.
Expand the led panel to “CHILL” more
Voice and sound recognition to display the message on the led board: for example, the command will display the content on the led board, etc.
