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

  • 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
