Hello guys , I am trying to develop a way to communicate visually with another Makerbuino user using a mini camera module and a microphone. The camera module is the 5MP: OV5642 | Arduino Based Camera and there are pictures of it at http://www.arducam.com/camera-modules/5mp-ov5642/ . there is a video for connection at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hybQpjwJ4a .
I am still working on the transmission to a receipient screen that will have to be installed on the Makerbuino to recieve the transmitted data from the camera and microphone. Here is the code for the microphone
Sketch Code
/*
This is the code to make a LED blink with sound.
You have to set the threshold so it’ sensible enough to make the led blink.
You connect an LED to PIN13 and the Sound Sensor to Analog Pin 0
*/
int led = 13;
int threshold = 22; //Change This
int volume;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600); // For debugging
pinMode(led, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
volume = analogRead(A0); // Reads the value from the Analog PIN A0
/*
//Debug mode
Serial.println(volume);
delay(100);
*/
if(volume>=threshold){
digitalWrite(led, HIGH); //Turn ON Led
}
else{
digitalWrite(led, LOW); // Turn OFF Led
}
}
This string of cose is for making a led blink whenever the module detects sound
The plan is to make it be transmitted lets say next door to your neighbour without the help of a computer but I think the audio and visual feed might get mixed up.
the microphone module is here: https://sites.google.com/site/summerfuelrobots/arduino-sensor-tutorials/arduino-sound-sensor. there are some other modules to use for diy projects there too by the way the main purpose is for multiplayer games and just fun conversations I am not sure if transmitting wirelessly would work but here is a picture of one wireless transmission module! (Arduino 433Mhz RF Wireless Data Transfer
Runtime Projects
Transceiver 433mhz)
here is the link to the site : http://runtimeprojects.com/2016/04/arduino-433mhz-rf-wireless-data-transfer/
And here is another wireless module that I am sure will work https://sites.google.com/site/summerfuelrobots/arduino-sensor-tutorials/rf-wireless-transmitter-receiver-module-433mhz-for-arduino
NOTE: when installing this there has to be separate transmission for the microphone and the camera.And if anyone wants to add a joystick module to the makerbuino there is a link here and I might post about adding it
https://sites.google.com/site/summerfuelrobots/arduino-sensor-tutorials/joystick-module I figured out the connection but it involves a somehow different camera module!
But we wil unplug the camera and connect it to the transmission module and connect the screen to the reciever module then then the microphone to another transmitter and the reciever to the speaker. You can choose to screw the screen to the makerbuino and all the coonections should be made with male and female connector cables.
