For synchronisation between several devices [SMPTE timecode](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMPTE_timecode) data is often encoded into audio using [LTC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_timecode) or linear time code.
This blog post presents an LTC decoder for a [Teensy 3.2 microcontroller](https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/teensy31.html) with [audio shield](https://www.pjrc.com/store/teensy3_audio.html).
The audio shield takes care of the line level audio input. This audio input is then decoded. The decoding is done by [libltc](https://github.com/x42/libltc). The library runs as is on a Teensy without modification. The three elements are combined in a relatively simple [teensy patch](https://github.com/ArtScienceLab/ARDUINO_LTC_DECODER/blob/master/LTCDecoder/src/main.cpp)
To use the decoder connect the line level input left channel to an SMPTE source via e.g. an RCA plug.
