A breadcrumb trail of project notes
For Living Art week 3 we’re are supposed to implement a Finite State Machine in a physical system. Suzan and I are hacking a Gloomy Bear to add some interaction. I’ll describe the interaction later (should be fun), but here are pictures from the Gloomy Bear hacking session.
The voice recorder we got from Radio Shack works well when powered from the NiMH battery pack and attached to a larger speaker (the built in one wasn’t loud enough). The problem is that the recorder loses the recording when you turn it off and only gives you a single recording. We could build a battery backup circuit but instead we’re going to try a Winbond ChipCorder which will give us multiple non-volatile recordings and direct microcontroller control.
