Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device (ASHPD) - DIY Sound Effects
- Adapted from ebs' forum post to ladyada.net, here: http://www.ladyada.net/forums
- And ladyada's dap.pde example: http://www.ladyada.net/media/wavshield/dap.pde
Hardware:
- Arduino (pre-assembled) (Duemilanove) (http://adafruit.com/) = $30.00
- Arduino-bootloader 2x upgrade chip (Atmega328) (http://adafruit.com/) = $7.50
- Adafruit Wave Shield for Arduino Kit (v1.0) (http://adafruit.com/) = $22.00
- SD/MMC Memory Card (1 Gig) ~$5.00
- Sony SRS-A27 desktop personal speakers ~$17.00
Software:
- Arduino 0013: http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software
- WaveShield lib: http://www.ladyada.net/make/waveshield/download.html
- My Sketch source code (Arduine Code): PortalGun.pde (Google Drive)
Functionality:
Power-Switch (SPST ON-OFF):
- Turn the board (lights & sound) ON-OFF
- On setup(): Plays the powerup_sound1.wav file and starts the ambient_loop.wav
- ambient_loop.wav will continue to play while gun is on; and pauses when gun is fired or other effect is triggered
Mode-Toggle-Switch (SPDT ON-ON):
- Changes between Orange/Blue lights
- Toggles Fire-Button sound effects
Fire-Button (SPST):
- Plays the color appropriate sound effect when pressed
- [Optionally] Flashes 4 additional white LEDs
- Follows up with randomly selected open-portal sound (open1 - open3.wav)
Invalid-Surface-Toggle (SPST):
- Small discrete ON-OFF slide switch
- When ON: causes the follow-up sound to play invalid_surface.wav rather than random open-portal sound
Superfluous-Music-Button (SPST):
- When pressed it plays "Still Alive" by GLaDOS (Jonathan Coulton)
- Bonus! If the Invalid-Surface-Toggle is ON it plays the "radio mix" edit of Still Alive
