![]() ![]() ![]() Your computer may alert you that the installation has failed, but it will work correctly once the installer is complete. On Windows, you may see a message pop up telling you that a driver is being installed. Then, connect your Touch Board to your computer and turn on your board. Open the Arduino IDE and select the Arduino project Touch_MP3 fromįile→Sketchbook→Touch Board Examples→Touch_MP3 Now that you have the Arduino IDE set up, you can change the code on the Touch Board! In this example, we're going to show you how to upload "Touch_MP3", the code that comes pre-installed with the Touch Board, but you can upload any code. ![]() Simply follow the instructions that are included in the installer by copying the right folders into the right locations. Open the Arduino IDE once and close it again, creating the necessary Arduino folders in your Documents folder.ĭownload the manual installer. Please note that for Windows, the Arduino IDE needs to be installed from the Arduino Website and not from the Windows App Store. The Touch Board doesn't work with the Arduino web editor. Once you've downloaded the Arduino IDE, please save it to your Applications folder on macOS or run the installer on Windows. The Touch Board does not work with Arduino IDE 2.X.X. You will need:ġ x Computer Set up the Arduino IDE and add the filesįirst, download the Legacy Arduino IDE (1.8.X) Arduino IDE from the Arduino website. You can also send your videos and photos to so we can post them on our site for the world to see. We love it when you share your projects! Post your project on Instagram, YouTube, or Twitter, and make sure to tag or use #bareconductive. If you have set it up before, you can skip to the next part. If you are doing this tutorial for the first time, you probably need to set up the Arduino IDE first, so just continue below. This tutorial takes you through the Arduino IDE setup step by step and shows you how to upload an Arduino sketch to the Touch Board. The board comes pre-installed with the "Touch_MP3" code, but if you want to change or modify its code, you need to use the Arduino IDE. The Touch Board is based on the Arduino Leonardo and works with Arduino's integrated development environment (IDE) software. define LED_BUILTIN for older versions of ArduinoįastLED.addLeds(leds, NUM_LEDS).Upload new sketches to transform the functions of your Touch Board #define EFFECTS_VOLUME 0// lower number is higher volume!range 0-254 SignalMax = sample // save just the max levels Unsigned int peakToPeak = 0 // peak-to-peak level Unsigned long startMillis= millis() // Start of sample window You can find information on how to do this here.Ĭonst int sampleWindow = 50 // Sample window width in mS (50 mS = 20Hz) Load the following sketch on to the Touch Board. Connect the Touch Board to your computer using the micro USB cable.To programme the Touch Board you’ll need to have the Arduino IDE and the Touch Board. Because the speaker will be in close proximity to the microphone you’ll want the gain to be as low as possible. The best way to adjust it is to run a sketch that will display the input levels and adjust the screw position based on this. Adjusting it is a bit tricky because the screw goes round and round forever with no obvious high or low points. The microphone has a small screw on the reverse to adjust its gain. Connect the speaker to the audio out of the touch Board.Connect the OUT of the microphone to A0 on the Touch Board.Connect the VCC of the microphone to 3.3V on the Touch Board.Connect the GND of the microphone to GND on the Touch Board.Solder 3 cables to the contacts of the microphone.Connect the GND of the LED strip to GND on the Touch Board.Connect the +5V of the LED strip to 5V on the Touch Board.Connect the data cable of the LED strip to 0 on the Touch Board.If you need help doing this you can find it here. You’ll need to have the Touch Board’s headers already in place in to complete the circuit. Insert the micro SD card into the Touch Board.Create a folder called E0 at the root of the micro SD card.Connect the Touch Board’s micro SD card to your computer using the adapter included with the Touch Board kit.Ensure all your sounds are in MP3 format.It is a highly rated free, open-source, cross-platform audio application with powerful features. You can use Audacity to convert your sounds. The Touch Board only plays MP3 files so you might need to convert your sounds if they are in a different format. We got our sounds from has a vast library of free sounds to use. You can have as many sounds as fit on the Touch Board’s micro SD card. We’ve gone for a series of spooky sound effects that really fit the Halloween theme. You can use any MP3 files so you can record your own, put music files on it etc. The first step will be to gather your sounds. The pumpkin will trigger a sound randomly every time it is touched. ![]()
