A noisy knitted dice made in Noise bridge, with just a few Dr Who references.
This project is the result of a stupid collaboration, during a stupid hackathon in a stupid hackerspace:
It's about a knitted dice with some stupid electronics inside, if you throw it, a sound is played when it stops on a face. Those faces have different pictures related to the famous Dr. Who, and their associated sounds:
- Dalek
- TARDIS
- Sonic Screwdriver
- Random
- Cyberman
- Dr Who
Technically, here is what we used:
- Accelerometer LSM303DLM (+unused gyro & compass) from http://pololu.com/product/1265
- Mini Audio FX Board from http://adafru.it/23411
- Amplification circuit from http://adafru.it/2130
- Speaker from http://adafru.it/1890
- Charging circuit from http://adafru.it/1905
- later: LEDs ?
- Accelerometer: we used a modified version of the LSM303 driver from pololu, it's in this repo.
- Sound Board: we used the Adafruit driver from github, but it's embedded in this repo to be sure that it works even if they modify it.
During THSF#8, https://www.thsf.net/, we will try to adapt this project on other components in order to miniaturize the electronics. Maybe we'll use the Teensy Audio Shield instead of the Mini Audio FX Board ;)
