Discussion¶
- Define project
- Per email from Liz Landis: One of our new exhibits needs a push button to play some prerecorded audio. I thought that this would be a great way to test out using Arduinos as low cost solutions in our exhibit spaces. I found this solution and wanted to see what you think. Originally, I was hoping just to extend the play button of an mp3 player to a button, but then realized that all of those are play/pause buttons. That won't work for us.
- Discuss over all design
- Joe - looks like the Adafruit Wave Shield will do the job. It will be best if we just use that with a standard Arduino Uno
- J - so we need an Arduino Uno, a Wave Shield Kit, a memory card sized to fit the audio file(s), and depending on how much of the exhibit is done the button, speaker(s), amplifier (if needed), and a case for the electronics
- Joe - right
- Draft Bill of Materials
- (1) Arduino Uno - $27
- (1) Adafruit Wave Shield Kit - $22 (currently out of stock 10-14 day backorder)
- (1) SD Card (size TBD)
- Speaker(s) (TBD)
- (1) Button (TBD)
- Parts for case (TBD)
- Other hardware as required to hook things up (TBD)
- Path forward
- J. or Joe need to arrange for a visit to the Museum to document the current design of the exhibit so we can work out the remaining details of the project
- Need to discuss ordering an Arduino Uno and a Wave Shield Kit with Liz so we can go ahead and start experimenting with the key pieces of technology involved
