  • Dude. I love it. I got my Arduino last week, and the very first thing I built is one very similar to this. Only is the sound it generates not quite what I want it to be. Yours is much better. I saw you shared the processing code, but I actually am more interested in the Processing bit. Would you be willing to share that?

    Nice work!

  • There really isn't any Processing code involved in this project: it's just for the Arduino itself, and it's the code I put up on my blog. The sound doesn't come from the computer, it comes directly from a speaker connected to the Arduino. And sound isn't really that good: it's just a sad square wave, nothing fancy there...

    Hope this helps, and good luck with your projects!

  • Nice work! I was wondering, do you ever get seemingly erronious data when using the ping))) with the Arduino? Because I have been mucking around with interfacing it to the Arduino, and sometimes I get a weird value, something which I don't expect... have you ever experienced the same thing?

  • do you get weird values constantly, or just jumps between correct values?

    Because I do get noisy data, which is due to the noisiness of the ping))), but other than that, the values are fine.

    Are you sure your code is right? You can check mine at the link specified in the description if you want (the getSonar() function, which returns the time in microseconds)

    Let me know if you get it to work ;)

see all

  • Another ultrasonic sensor for volume and its a perfect theremin ;)

  • Now, let's try it slower!

  • nice!!!!!!

  • Thats awesomely horrible.

  • HAHAHA! This was awesome! and the end wehn you go like owwweo (?) that so funny!

  • sounds like a broken cazoo

  • OH MY F.CKING GOD!

    good!

  • XD Sounds funny on high notes. :D
