Arduino Breathalyzer Microphone

Breathalyzer Microphone using an Arduino

The breathalyzer microphone is a system for the inconscpicuous collection of blood-alcohol content level data sets. In other words, you can measure a person’s sobriety with a device, that for all intents and purposes, looks no different than a standard microphone. This tool adds new dimensions of truthiness to any standard interview. It can also […]

Arduino Personal Soundtrack Hoodie

Arduino Personal Soundtrack Hoodie

This was inspired by Raj’s personal soundtrack shirt in Big Bang Theory S3, E16, “The Excelsior Acquisition”. You can now buy them online but it’s much more fun to make your own and it’s possible now that buttons designed for use in electronic clothing are available from Connectedwear. Nine of the buttons on the Connectedwear

Arduino Vocal Effects Box

Arduino-Powered Vocal Effects Box

This Arduino-powered vocal effects box pitch shifts and distorts incoming audio signals to produce a wide variety of vocal effects.  This project is my first experiment with real-time digital signal processing using Arduino.  It samples an incoming microphone signal at a rate of about 40kHz, manipulates the audio digitally, and then outputs 8 bit audio at 40kHz.

True Analog Audio Volume Control using Arduino

True Analog Audio Volume Control using Arduino

ow my Arduino can precisely measure audio input (VU meter),   and obviously, next thing that comes to mind right after measurements, is regulation or control. There are many different ways how to electronically adjust audio volume or level of AC signal.  I’ll name a few: Specifically design IC, Digital potentiometers. Mechanical potentiometers, driven by servo
