Ã…ret 2022 var Ã¥ret da en av mine store drømmer gikk i oppfyllelse – jeg fikk min helt egen Scout trooper-drakt! 🤓
Denne drakten åpnet en hel ny verden for meg. 501st Legion er en veldedig organisasjon som opererer på verdensbasis. Spre glede og samle inn penger til lokale veldedighetsformål. Alt vi egentlig gjør er å kle på oss Star Wars-draktene, og så går vi rundt og later som at vi kommer fra en galakse langt, langt, unna. Så enkelt, så fantastisk!
Men, en ting er Ã¥ se ut som en Storm/Scout trooper. En annen ting er Ã¥ høre ut som en. SÃ¥, hvorfor ikke lage sin egen “voice amplifier with static burst effect” og putte det inn i drakta?
I dette hobbyprosjektet håper jeg på å løse to ting:
1. Stemmeforvrenger – endre stemmen til Ã¥ høres ut som en Scout trooper.
2. Static burst effect – nÃ¥r man er ferdig med Ã¥ prate, sÃ¥ skal dingsen lage en sÃ¥nn “klikk-lyd” pÃ¥ slutten. Virkelig fÃ¥ inn illusjonen om at man prater med hverandre gjennom walkie-talkie.

Stemmeforvrenger
Det fins mange ulike tutorials for å lage en stemmeforvrenger. Personlig liker jeg Adafruit sin:
– https://learn.adafruit.com/wave-shield-voice-changer/overview
En fin-fin gjennomgang av hvordan du kommer i gang med Arduino, Wave Shield, mikrofon, høyttalere og batteripakke.
Adafruit-prosjektet har også tatt med funksjonalitet og elektronikk for å kunne endre mellom ulike typer stemmer. Dette er det ikke behov for i mitt prosjekt, så alt rundt dette kunne jeg bare hoppe over.

Arduino med wave shield er lett Ã¥ bruke, og lett Ã¥ spille av lyd-filer med. Adafruit har fantastiske tutorials og how to’s, som bÃ¥de viser deg hvordan du lodder sammen elektronikken, samt smÃ¥ kodesnutter for Ã¥ komme i gang.

Oppsummering
Dessverre, etter en lang dag med fikling, prøving og feiling, fant jeg ut at Arduino’en kanskje ikke er den beste mikrokontrolleren for Ã¥ fÃ¥ til begge deler. Det var rimelig rett fram Ã¥ endre stemmen sin. Det var ogsÃ¥ rimelig rett fram Ã¥ spille av lyd-filer fra SD-kortet. Men, Ã¥ kombinere disse to, det var ikke helt rett fram. Arduinoen er dessverre ikke rask nok til Ã¥ gjøre dette pÃ¥ en enkel og forstÃ¥elig mÃ¥te.
The Arduino can process the voice effect or play back WAVs (and can do both within the same sketch), but you can’t do both simultaneously.
Internett
Løsningen blir å bestille inn en raskere mikrokontroller (Teensy 4.1 m/tilhørende lyd-kort), og så prøve igjen når det kommer i posten! Satser på et nytt blogginnlegg da 🤞
