Life Size Chucky ToTS - Voice Box/sound module ?

xl97 said:
This is the one I had on hand.. and was attempting to use:

http://sensorkit.en.joy-it.net/index.php?title=KY-038_Microphone_sound_sensor_module

I basically have everything done/coded... but the sensor is just a bit 'janky'...



I'll see if I get a video up tonight.

I'll post what I used.....

Arduino Pro-Mini ($2.00)
DFPlayer mini ($2.00)
KY-038 sound sensors ($2.00)
Some jumper wires
Few caps and resistors
External pot (for testing) to see external analog threshold value settings helps
Firmware/code
+5v voltage regulator ($1.00)

(total costs are very cheap)

I added an outside pot to allow setting of an analog value threshold.. so you can tweak the sensitivity on it yourself.......
* (not sure it works any better than the built in pot for the digital pin state)

So of your list , I found these items,
can you tell me if those are the right items,
because there different ones available as well :

Arduino Pro Mini 328 - 5V/16MHz
https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11113[/h]DFPlayer Mini MP3 Player Module For Arduino
https://www.amazon.de/DFPlayer-Mini-Player-Modul-Arduino/dp/B010B1OX6Y[/h]SparkFun Sound Detector
https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12642[/h]or
SparkFun Sound Detector (with Headers)
https://www.sparkfun.com/products/14262[/h]So these are the items I don't have :
- Some jumper wires ,
( I do have leftover wires from a wire kit from Ultimarc for pinball buttons and joysticks,
so I don't know if these wires will work. )

- Few caps and resistors
- External pot (for testing) to see external analog threshold value settings helps
- Firmware/code
- +5v voltage regulator ($1.00)

So I hope you can tell me where to find all those items.
Maybe all available on Amazon.de or ".co.uk" or ".fr" ?

Thanks in advance.
 
I'll try and get a list for you tonight when I get home form work.

That being said..

while I 'do' in fact own and sometimes buy legit, original Arduino branded boards.... I dont -always- do so. (its gets VERY expensive when buying authentic Arduino boards.. only to stick them in a project to never see them again!) LOL


So I will pick up 'clones' off ebay form time to time.. it helps keeps costs down.

You do NOT have to.. I'm just pointing out that you can get these things much cheaper on ebay.. (although the shipping time from China may be a killer)

So yes..

Arduino Pro-Mini 5v version...
DFPlayer Mini - be careful.. this is one you DO NOT want a clone of. It has to have the YX5200 chipset on it.. many clones have this scratched off the chip (meaning its not legit/real).. they work in a the most basic form... but not some features that are supported by the real chips.
* blue led (not red)
* silkscreen around all components on PCB
* real YX5200 chip
 
I've completed the sound portion of my doll. As promised, here is a video of the electronics and the code I used:

I took pieces of code from different sources and combined them. In the first 5 seconds it sets the sound threshold depending on the sound level of the room. I can give you more information regarding how to hook it up once you get the parts.
 
Thanks Jason for the video and code.
It does exactly what we want !!

One question, how can you fit all of that underneath Chucky's clothes ?:D
Xl97 said somthing about an Arduino mini or nano or something, can't you use that as well ?
 
I'm pretty sure all the code will work the same on the smaller boards. You may have to change the pin numbers in the code depending on where you plug it in. As far as hiding it under the clothes, I hadn't thought about that. Maybe you can create a curved plastic piece that is the same shape as his back and mount everything to it. Then you can put it under his clothes with the electronics facing inward. The plastic would create a small area to house the electronics. It would need to be pretty thin... not sure how much slack the clothes have. Just an idea.
 
You should have no problems using a Pro-Mini..

No difference (more or less) except for physical footprint..

No need to change anything.. get a $2.00 Pro-Mini off ebay and upload the same code.
 
Just an update on the Good Guy Doll with his animatronic eyes. I modified the code so he only says one thing while I program the movements. For now he moves his eyes to a random position. I'll have to watch the scenes with the doll to copy the movements.
