🔧 Wiring Guide (Arduino Compatible)

  1. VCC → 3.3 V or 5 V

  2. GND → Ground

  3. OUT → Arduino analog input (e.g., A0)

  4. GAIN → Set maximum gain:

    • GND → 40 dB

    • Float → 60 dB

    • VCC → 50 dB 

  5. AR → Set Attack/Release:

    • Float → 1:4000 (default)

    • GND → 1:500

    • VCC → 1:2000
