I have built a large wearable robot body and wish to implement multiple sound effects. I want the ambient
machine/robotic sound effects to run continuously and other particular sound effects to run according to only the
movement of the legs(feet), arms, torso and head. I have the desired sound effects on a 16 GB Flash Drive. I need a
list of everything I must purchase from the RobotShop. I have been told for starters that I will need a Rasberry Pi
2 or 3, and a slew of other components, board(s), wires, accelerometers, and etc., battery pack(s) power source for
all of the components, computer,control boards, etc. I have the speakers I want and the battery power source for
those. I would love to receive links to exactly everything I am going to need to bring my project’s sounds to
moving life. A tutorial would be nice too. I have someone that is very knowledgeable but is not always available to
help me put all of this together. I have had quite a bit of trouble trying to locate an online tutorial that covers
my specifics. I need help here. A thru Z. Thank you.
You really only need the following:
]MP3 trigger: which holds the effects on file for playback/:m]
]Microcontroller: which has the inputs / outputs to read sensors and trigger the correct MP3 /:m]
]Sensors: As you stated, which can be accelerometers etc./:m]
]Speaker/:m]
]Battery & charger/:m]
]Wiring/:m]
Some examples (not tested together, but just to give ideas):
]Microcontroller: robotshop.com/en/arduino-uno … oller.html/:m]
]MP3 Shield: robotshop.com/en/mp3-shield- … RB-Cyt-140/:m]
]Accelerometer: robotshop.com/en/sensors-accelerometers.html/:m]
]Battery: robotshop.com/en/74v-2000mah … =RB-Sta-07/:m]
]Charger: robotshop.com/en/b3ac-lipo-b … 8w-us.html/:m]
]Speaker: One which can plug into the audio jack (likely powered separately though) is best/:m]
You would need to read through the guide for the MP3 trigger, and also learn basic programming in Arduino (should you go this route).
We are not aware of a tutorial which covers such a specific project / application.
Thank you, CBenson!
I will also do as you advise regarding the reading through of the MP3 Trigger guide and learning basic programming in Arduino.
