This assignment builds on the previous two both in terms of technology and the ideas of embedding your electronic inputs/outputs with other materials. However, we will build on these ideas by looking at sound as an output.
To begin - Find / Purchase an object that you are happy to take apart.
For this assignment you must add 2 things
At least 1 input - this can be either Analog , Digital, or a combination, but it must be connected to the object. You may want to use techniques of DIY switches or capacitive input to more easily interface with the object
At least 1 output based on sound. Your kit has a DC buzzer (Links to an external site.) that will work well for this, but you could also use a speaker or create analog sound using a motor or a solenoid. The most important factor is to examine how you can shape/alter the sound using the properties of the object itself.
Since you are starting with an existing object you should focus on how the input/output you add to it can change the perception, function, or disfunction of the object.
You are required to submit documentation of your functioning circuit and your code.
Please submit a pdf that contains :
100 word description of your project
Heading image that best shows the project (Wires can be visible in this image, but the Arduino + breadboard must be hidden)
Link to video of the project working
2-3 process images
For this assignment, this should focus on how you altered the object to add the sensors / buzzer
circuit diagram (can be done in TinkerCad)
code or link to the code
