 * NOTES
 * The program purports to hold a tone for 'duration' microseconds.

 *  any overhead created by incremeting elapsed_time (could be in excess of 
 *  3K microseconds) _plus_ overhead of looping and two digitalWrites()
 *  
 * As a result, a tone of 'duration' plays much more slowly than a rest
 *  of 'duration.' rest_count creates a loop variable to bring 'rest' beats 
 *  in line with 'tone' beats of the same length. 
 * 
 * rest_count will be affected by chip architecture and speed, as well as 
 *  overhead from any program mods. Past behavior is no guarantee of future 
 *  performance. Your mileage may vary. Light fuse and get away.
 *  
 * This could use a number of enhancements:
 * ADD code to let the programmer specify how many times the HelloImOn  should
 *     loop before stopping
 * ADD another octave
 * MOVE tempo, pause, and rest_count to #define statements
 * RE-WRITE to include volume, using analogWrite, as with the second program at
 *          http://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/PlayHelloImOn 
 * ADD code to make the tempo settable by pot or other input device
 * ADD code to take tempo or volume settable by serial communication

/* Play Help
 * -----------
 *
 * Program to play a simple Help

 * Tones are created by quickly pulsing a speaker on and off

 * Each Helpte has a frequency, created by varying the period of

 * We calculate the pulse-width to be half the period; we pulse

 *  for 'pulse-width' microseconds.
 *  This pulsing creates a vibration of the desired frequency.

    Whine-bot 

    Here is my very whiny robot. He complains when you wake him up! He whines no for the right button and grudgingly whines yes for the left button. But after three yeses he gets mad. You’ve got to go Jack Bauer style and twist his arm! Eventually he’ll relent. If you twist too long though, he’ll crash. Literally. Hold both buttons for a more humane reset.

    Intro 

    Hi. My name is Victor Kim.  I graduated with a BFA from Syracuse University in illustration.  While there I also “minored” in DJ’ing and had a weekly radio show on WERW.  After graduation I took on very few illustration freelance projects and a few design and video related internships that were dead ends and nowhere near what I wanted out of a creative based career.  My illustration portfolio can be viewed at vjkim.com while my general parsons blog is at vjkim.com/parsons/blog.  Also you can find some mixes i put together at sd3.vjkim.com.

    The real reason why I’m in computation is because I feel that I’ll be able to pick up on the principles of interactivity while learning about programming.  Two birds with one stone, maximizing those tuition $$$$$$ (dollars).  I’m generally interested in programming since coming to MFADT so I wanted to make sure I was in a Major Studio with colleagues of the same mindset who would inspire and push me during the semester.  I’m not really sure where my direction is with the tools I will soon learn to be honest.  I have general interests in music performance, particularly within the DJ and electronic based realms, an industry that requires its participants to spend thousands of dollars of equipment…

    emotional homework. 

     

    My Arduino would like to say:
    I’m on!
    I’m happy!
    I’m in trouble!
    Yes!
    No!
    Good Bye!

    I had some trouble creating sound because I am very musically inclined. I tried my best to get my Arduino to speak the way I intended it to sound.

    Here is my code.

    Gestural Sounds 

    We are required to create sounds to represent emotions or “gesture” and I am so bad at music. I even didn’t know the names of the notes in English, so it was a bit hard for me to program the sounds.

    I used Virtuoso Iphone app to learn and familiarize myself with US type of music notes.  Then, I wrote the code (I used the Tone Tutorial by Tom Igoe to write the notes and music)  for 6 types of gestures:

    1. Hello

    2. Alert-Alarm

    3. Bye

    4. Sad

    5.Tension

    6. Dying

    I also assigned 6 buttons to activate these 6 sound.

     

    My sourcecode is here.

    Did you have any pleasant or not-so-nice surprises when experimenting with “emotive beeps”?

     

    For the most part I found it pretty straight forward to create the emotions that I wanted. There was a little bit of trouble separating the different positive and negative sounds. The positive sounds tended to have a rising tone and the negative sounds had a falling tone. The method that I used to separate them was length and number of total tones.

    So this is what my tone project was supposed to sound like (replaced a broken speaker).

    Hello all,

    The main interest I have in this computation class is a better understanding of low voltage wireless communication and interaction. I have some experience with Xbee communication but want to work on the embedded systems aspect of Arduino. You can check out some of the work I’ve done with Xbee and Arduino here.

    The peizo I have sounds pretty poor at all octaves unfortunately. There’s hardly any discernible difference between notes and this translates even worse being picked up by my computers microphone. Ah well, check out the video and my code is posted below.

    #include “pitches.h”

    Anthropomorphic Sounds 

    After much tinkering I was able to put together some intriguing sounds. I also was able to load all content into two Multidimensional Arrays, which helped with organization. If anyone is looking into how to do that, please see my code.

    Overall I felt that this assignment was more challenging that I had initially thought. Music and sound is a whole new way of thinking for me, and there were moments that I felt out of my confort zone, however with enough tinkering and changing I began to see what types of combinations would create responses.

    I attempted to give a voice, to these sounds, as if they were coming for the same person/object, and attempted to mimic the syllables and sounds in the words/ phrases I tried to create.

    Phrases  Created:   I’m on/ready, Yes, No, I’m Learning, I’m trying to warn you, I’m Confused.

    A moment with Lee Williams 

    Hi, it’s me Lee. My background is in graphics design and before coming to Parsons I worked in the magazine publishing industry. I worked for Time Inc. in the custom pub department and then landed a Associate Art Director gig at Runner’s World magazine. You can check out my previous work at leewilliams.me. That was all fine and good, but everyone knows print is dead. So, here I am now.

    I have never really coded anything except some flash script before coming to Parsons, but I’ve really fallen for it since getting my hands dirty in bootcamp. I’ve tried to squeeze in as many code courses as possible and am focusing on ubiquitous mobile computing. I really want to create interesting applications that can extend beyond the screen. There’s really no reason why our powerful little computers in our pocket can’t communicate with all the digital stuff we surround ourselves with. I’m also interested in algorithmic logic and life simulations. I believe menu based, yes no sort of interfaces need to evolve to be more predictive of their users intentions and to assist users in finding what they really want. What my focus will be when I come out with this MFA I have no clue, but for now I’m trying to soak up as much new knowledge as possible.

    Beep Beep Boop / Alvaro 

    Ok guys, thought I would never finish this Beep Beep Boo but here it is:

    my bipolar monologue goes like this:

    Hello, I am on

    I am Happy

    I am Angry

    I am Dying

    I need to alert you to do something

    By! Im turning off

    I decided to use 6 push buttons (but I just had three with me so I would post the video later today when I get some more). Each of the push buttons represents one phrase or sentence. The code is the same code from the Arduino website but I added the interaction and of course created different melodies.

    I used an Ipad app (virtuoso) to listen to the tones, although they are not very similar to the beep sound, it actually helps.

    More push buttons need to be connected but the code is ready for the 6 of them

    Here is the code (sorry for posting it directly here, if somebody knows, could you please let me/us know how to link the code? I think the blog looks messy with all that, but maybe is just me)

    /*
    HelloImon

    Emotive Bleeps 

    Well, I will save my more complex code for another day…my brain is sputtering.

    I hooked up the arduino to the speaker and ended up making 6 separate sketches for the emotions.

    Here’s a picture of the circuit…

    the video: http://vimeo.com/19512551

     

    hello – something cheery and salutary

    haha – I attempted to make a laughing sound, like a twitter

    level UP – sorta inspired by Zelda’s “I got something!” sound

    yes/no – sort of went for the ding and buzzer

    I’m dying – inspired by the sound toys make when their batteries start to lose juice

    bai – a shut down sound

    Emotional Tones 

    Another sound project. Between this and AV systems, I feel like I’m being tossed into the deep end of the pool. I’ve never worked with audio, but this is certainly a good way to learn. I tried to pull together a few sounds that a potential little robot could use to express itself.

    First I threw together a simple device to let me test out the different sounds I could get out of my piezo. After some basic experimentation, I found the range of acceptable sounds (defined as them not hurting my ear) to be 50-1000 Hz. I mapped this to the range of a potentiometer (0-1024) and set it so that the piezo would play at the relevant frequency to the level of the potentiometer. While testing, I added two additional things: A potentiometer to control the volume of the piezo, and a switch that could silence the piezo without having to unplug it (I found myself uploading the code a lot, and got tired of the constant buzz resulting from keeping it plugged in.

    Here’s the code for that one

    I used the same physical device when creating the individual emotional sounds. It was easy to work on the code for the individual sounds, and then upload the tester, just to see what tones I thought would work for the one I was working on.

    For the final code, I wrote a simple loop function that calls a specific sound. Actually playing each sound is handled by a separate function. Because the way the sounds were generated tended to vary a bit from sound to sound, and each one is fairly short, it didn’t make sense to me to create a standardized way of handling it (such as in the melody example, where any array of notes and durations could have been fed to it).

    Creating the actual sounds consisted mostly of trial and error, just seeing what seemed right for each emotion. For most of the tones used, I simply found a tone manually to me that fit, although there were several that I used actual notes for, hence the inclusion of pitches.h (available in the examples that come with Arduino). Most are comprised of two or three beeps of varying lengths and a few do sweeps across a range of frequencies.

    In then end, the device has 8 expressions: “Hello”, “Yes”, “No”, “I’m happy”, “I’m sad”, “Thank you”, “I need to alert you” and “I’m dying”. They’re all my babies, but I think the happiness sound is my favorite.

    I only recently got the potentiometer I’m using for this project. It’s a big old black one and it has a great feel to it, so I thought I could use that to scroll between the options for the sounds. The range of 1024 is broken up into 8 segments, each of which is mapped to a sound. When the device is not playing anything, the current sound selection is displayed on the serial window (This requires the device to be attached to the computer in order to see what sound will be played). When the selection is made, a switch is flipped and the sound loops until it is put back down.

    I had originally intended to use a push button to activate the sound, but I ran into a bug which I assume has to be with the way I built the circuit, since I tried using code that has previously worked with it. The button reads 0 until it is pressed down, at which point it reads 1 for the rest of eternity. Instead I am using my switch as an analog input. The switch has a very satisfying feel to it anyway, though, so I decided not to worry too much about it for now.

    As the picture shows, my final setup wound up being almost identical to the test device. I moved a few things around to make them less cramped, but that was it. I really liked the tactile sensation that comes from using that specific potentiometer and switch, so I was happy to keep them.

    Given a bit more time, I would have liked to use LEDs with labels to signify which sound would be played, but as it is, the interface is easy to use, and I believe the sounds do a good job of expressing their inteded meaning.

    CODE

     

    IN CLASS WRITING RESPONSE:

    Prompt: Any pleasant or not-so-nice surprises while experimenting with the emotive beeps?

    What stands out is struggling for over an hour with a simple push button. For the life of me, I could not get it to work, which was infuriating given the basic nature of it. I looked over my wiring and could find nothing. Looking as it again this morning, the problem was obvious: I hadn’t ever connected the loop to ground. How I missed this yesterday? No idea.

    I definitely had some difficulty getting sounds that felt like the emotions  was trying to convey. I woud play a tone and think to myself “this will be perfect for the next part of the sequence” only to realize that it could not have been more wrong. As I mentioned, I have never really worked with sound, so it was interesting ti see just how the different tones interacted with each other.

    Emotional Audial Gestures 

    The sounds I was going for, in order, are:

    1) Alarm: “Emergency!”
    similar to a naval ships alarm, this has a linear rise in pitch, which is sustained at the end. It gives a sense of urgency.

     

    2) Positive: “I’m happy”
    a simple melody played one note at a time. Like our speech patterns when we want to convey something positive, the pitch and tone go up at the end.

    3) Spooky: “Something Strange (in the neighborhood)”
    a base frequence switches back and forth between 600Hz and 800Hz, with a vibrato for effect. It uses two for loops to control the panning sound, and to switch between the base tones.

    4) Negative: “That’s not good.”
    an oscillating pattern that is very dissonant. It consists of two atonal sounds being played in rapid succession.

    5) Dying: “I’m dying… boo.”
    a decelerating pattern that lowers the frequency and period of the sound over time, giving it the feel of a device that is quickly losing power.

    6) Bye: “Signing off.”
    a normal melody, played in linear order

     

    And here is the code that made it all possible.
