I have successfully completed the circuits for Wheatley’s brains!
It took a lot of work, but the PS3 controller communicates with the Arduino UNO via Bluetooth, the UNO communicates with the servo motors and the Adafruit Audio FX Sound Board, and the Sound Board plays the audio clips when I push a button on the PS3 controller! And, to top it all off, I have a simple circuit with a transistor that turns the audio signals going to the speakers into modulated light! Here’s the diagram I based my circuit on:
The transistor I got from Radioshack is a TIP31C. I have it connected to the LED light ring and a 9v battery. It’s the simplest way to add sound-reactive lighting! All of the wiring is not yet completed, but what I do have is 100% functional! I’m so excited!
More good news: Carlos should have begun printing the new 3D parts this weekend. By the time he’s done I should have received a few more components in the mail so I can finish all of the soldering, wiring, etc. Not too far in the future I should be able to record a functional Animatronic Wheatley v2.0 demo! I love seeing a project moving forward!
