## Arduino UNO with Sparkfun Spectrum Shield Setup
7173
For this version of the music visualizer, you will need the [Sparkfun Spectrum Shield](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00X0K30I6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

I prefer this version because it allows you to split the audio signal into 7 seperate channels (bass, mids, treb). This is important for anyone who wants their music visualizer to respond only to bass like mine. The sparkfun spectrum shield is...a shield...so you can solder the stacking female/male header pins to it and attach it to your Arduino UNO.
