First video for the blorg, also more bumbling arduinos
So I had a friend over, and we were messing with the arduinos as we are both new to them we pretty much botched around getting them to USB connect correctly, and it turns out, I need to acquire more USB B cables.
Parts:
- Arduino UNO
- misc LEDs
- misc resistors
- Speaker
- Accelerometer (MMA7361)
- Murdered network cable (cats ate the RJ45)
- bits of paper clips (in lue of jumpers)
- zip ties
He wanted to play with making them make noises, so I quickly tore apart some crappy USB speakers, and scrounged out one speaker. He managed to throw some maths and programming at it and got some interesting tones out of it, much to the annoyance of his fiance on the phone. We later started messing with the accelerometer. We eventually gave up as the cabling bo-jiggering I was using to put the code on the arduino (I/O errors abound).
Skip to the next day, I being more awake, and remembering I have a USB B cable for the printer, grabbed that and started trying to push new code to the arduino. After some new bits for triggering serial out data, and then some twixing for the tone and accelerometer data, and viola, an annoying noise maker. Also, threw in a youtube vid for this, so I can say I play with multimedia. No pics this time though, literally cant stand to take any (note my leg in the video).
