Sound Detector Arduino Example
synthetic fur (like the covering that sneaks into the frame when a boom mic accidentally enters a film scene).
Software Example
Now that we understand how to configure the board, let’s hook it to an Arduino and see what it can do.
Materials
In addition to the Sound Detector, you’ll need the following parts.
RedBoard - Programmed with Arduino
Break Away Male Headers - Right Angle
Jumper Wires Premium 12" M/F Pack of 10
Connections
We snapped a 5-pin section off the header, and soldered it to the Sound Detector. Then we took the jumper wires
and made the following connections.
(Sound Detector → Arduino )
GND → Supply Ground
VCC → Power supply voltage between 3.5 and 5.5 Volts
Gate → Pin 2
Envelope → A0
Additionally, as described on the calibration page, a 33K Ohm resistor was soldered into position R17. R3 was left
in place, so the gain was lowered from 40 dB to about 28 dB.
