Tutorial with Mike, 1 nov

• Recommended to use triple axis accelerometer - ADXL362 - already has arduino library written for it
• accelerometer only measures acceleration. think of acceleration in terms of integration, velocity, position...
• with regards to printing our own pcb - can do laser cut or acetate / pcb toner transfer
• sound - look up trigger mp3 with sd card slot
• also think about amplifier and power source

Weekend + Tutorial with Mike and Dave, 4 Nov 2013

• concept - what about instead of using live sound, just use sound that represents the floor - radio waves and their material form - what if it were the opposite and the sound only plays when the door opens. augmented reality.
• how about thinking about lift culture, fantasies about lifts as transportation to different planes and levels of reality, charlie and the chocolate factory, being john malkovich, the lift sighing in the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy
• what about using baby monitor or walkie talkie
• think about the presentation - video response? sound player? other forms?
• david tudor's rainforest
• whispering lift? a lift that whispers secrets from the outside in

• Sound Libraries to play WAV files
  • Arduino library for asynchronous playback of PCM/WAV files direct from SD card - https://github.com/TMRh20/TMRpcm
  • SoundWave - A modification of a library with the same name by Adafruit Industries that allows playing sound from an SD card directly on your Arduino board without any Digital to Analog Converter (DAC). It uses pin 3 on your Arduino Uno board to push out the sound. Just plug a soundjack from an amplifier and share ground with the Arduino to listen to the sound. - https://github.com/dcuartielles/SoundWave - http://cuartielles.com/verkstad/edu/Courses1BitSound/PlayWAVsound
• Convert Audio to 8bit 16Khz mono - http://cuartielles.com/verkstad/edu/Courses1BitSound/PrepareWAVsound
• Requires: Transistor 2N2222

• Walkie Talkie and Baby Monitor were tested but had too short a range to be useful

ACTION PLAN

LOBBY TO-DO
Description: Muzak that blends into an annoying sound if there are too many people in the lobby.
Goal: Make people leave if they are too many.

1. Lasers
2. Mirror arrangement
3. Light Sensors Soldering
4. Laser/Light Testing in Lobby
5. Speaker soldering/set up
6. Script for Sound
7. Sound Design

LIFT TO-DO
Description: Inside-out lift
Goal: Making the inaudible AUDIBLE

1. Accelerometer Soldering
2. Accelerometer Testing in Lift
3. Record Lift door timings
4. SD Card Module Soldering
5. SD Card Testing
6. Laser and Light Sensor arrangement
7. Speakers soldering/set up
8. External Power for both arduino and speaker.
9. Sound Design
10. Script for Sound

Testing the Accelerometer

• ADXL362 Arduino Library - http://annem.github.io/ADXL362/ - Downloaded the library and running the ADXL362_SimpleRead.ino example
• Instructions were - Connect SCLK, MISO, MOSI, and CSB of ADXL362 to SCLK, MISO, MOSI, and DP 10 of Arduino - Refer to http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/SPI for corresponding arduino pins
• Result:
