Gaia Interesting but sloooow and choppy on my end.
Artpad.com Is this done in Flash?

Status Report
Okay, so this is what my agreement was with my professor. If I can't get the speaker circuit working with either a new speaker from Radioshack that I went out and bought or my ipod speakers that I cracked open, then I can look into other ways of modifying my project. And so, neither speaker circuit worked. And although I can make changes, it seems ( Read more... ) -
Reality Check
And so, in a few weeks, it'll mark the midterm point of this semester. And so far, I have done two unsuccessful prototypes for my project. ( Thoughts, Doubts & Project Progress ) -
Speaker broken?
And so, I put together this basic thing to get SOMEthing out of the speaker, wired it exactly, copied and pasted the programming, uploaded to the board fine, and nothing ( Read more... ) -
Prototype 2...
So I bought an 8-ohm speaker to see if the speaker will generate audio powerful enough that if I stuck it into something, I could feel the sound. And just for testing purposes, I used this tutorial for the circuit and right now, I'm not caring about original audio/code, just to get it to do something to test the effect. Then I can worry about the ( Read more... ) -
Prototype Findings & Speaker Innards
So, I tried and failed my first prototype experiment. After buying the Piezo buzzer, I tried three different circuits before finally getting it to buzz continuously without issue. I adjusted the volume a bit by having four 4.7k resistors in series and when I experimented with one 10k resistor, there was no sound. The buzzer's ground goes to ground ( Read more... ) -
