  4. TK Talkie DIY Comm Effects

    My master plan: Have one set of complete electronics to swap between TK and BH. Now to find some great bitcrusher settings that sound more... Mando-like. Thanks so much!

    Just a thought...put a config file on the sd card and read it at startup that has settings for the processing utils and apply those when it initializes. That way all you have to do is swap out cards to get different voice effects.

    From what I've heard, and do not take this as gospel at all, Android is awful for real time audio. The code behind my IOS app is actually pretty simple thanks mainly to an incredible audio library called audiokit, though my app is a corner case for them so I've found a few bugs along the way.

     

    Arduino is something I really want to do more of but I need a project for it. Though I just helped a friend with some code for a new Ghostbusters Proton pack light kit they're developing.

     

    Check out the Teensy Prop shield...made specifically for cosplay:  http://pjrc.com/store/prop_shield.html

    Sounds good! Lots of good options for troopers now at all prices and skill levels.

     

    I'll have to find some time to route around the code in this, I was thinking of going arduino before I started my IOS app.

    I was originally going to write an Android app myself lol.  I may still do that one day (when I get better at writing native apps...) I've been using platforms like Corona and Cordova which don't really give you the tools you need to do this right. I know Corona has some sound processing but the iOS support is better than the Android support and to get the effect there would be a lag.  Cordova has some sound libraries but they are not really meant for real-time processing.

     

    But I LOVE the arduino/teensy stuff.  For my mando build I made an RF-based transmitter/receiver to make the aiming stalk move up and down.  The transmitter is in my guantlet.  I built in a secret/key between the transmitter and receiver to prevent false signals from setting it off.  I've seen in cons where several guys were standing around and one of them hits their transmitter and all of their stalks move lol...in that case they were all from the same vendor.

    So I picked up the components and I've seemingly run into a snag. Doesn't appear the audio shield is registering it all. Is there a forum somewhere I could get some help?

    This happened when I first connected them.  Turned out I had a weak solder spot.  Double check all your solder spots and make sure there is good coverage.  Also make sure there is no overspill of solder that could lead to a connection shorting out.  Finally, make sure that your audio board is properly seated on the Teensy.  It has to go on a certain way with pins matching.

    VERSION 3 NOW AVAILABLE!

     

    Hey guys, I built a relatively inexpensive and easy voice effects box (random static bursts and comm clicks) and thought I would share it here.  It's based of a Teensy 3.2 and an Audio Adaptor for the Teensy.  The source code is on my Github site and there is a tutorial on my website, but I will be happy to post it here if anyone wants.
     

    Quick overview:

    • Customizable sounds (stored on SD card)
    • Voice activated (but you could add PTT pretty easily)
    • Fully customizable
