For assignment 8b, I created a state machine that I will work on for the next two weeks to improve for the final project. In this one, there are three states: Listening, Audio Detected, and Party (or dancing lights). Using a stereo input, the Arduino waits for an incoming signal. Once an audio source is connected and playing music, the Arduino detects it and changes states. Here’s the code:
/*

const int sListening = 0; // The system is waiting for audio to be plugged in. Speakers/Lights are off
const int sAudioDetected = 1; // The system detects audio being played. Speakers/Lights are on
const int sParty = 3; // If there's enough people around, party time! Lights dance to music
int currentState = sListening;
int nextState = sAudioDetected;
int audioPin = 1; // Audio signal in from stereo jack
int partySwitch = 2; // Push button to activate 'party' state
int listeningLed = 9; // LED to signal 'listening' state
int detectedLed = 10; // LED to signal audio signal detected; 'detected' state
int partyLed = 12; // LEDs start to pulse with music, 'party' state. IC3915 activated
int audioLevel = 0; // Incoming audio level
void setup() {
pinMode(audioPin, INPUT);
pinMode(partySwitch, INPUT);
pinMode(listeningLed, OUTPUT);
pinMode(detectedLed, OUTPUT);
pinMode(partyLed, OUTPUT);
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
//digitalWrite(partyLed, HIGH);
//AudioLevelCheck();
//Serial.println(audioLevel);
switch(currentState) {
case sListening: // Listening State
digitalWrite(listeningLed, HIGH); // Listening LED on
digitalWrite(detectedLed, LOW);
digitalWrite(partyLed, LOW);
AudioLevelCheck(); // Check incoming audio level
if (audioLevel > 1) { // If there is incoming audio, move to 'detected' state
currentState = sAudioDetected;
}
break;
case sAudioDetected: // Audio Detected State
digitalWrite(detectedLed, HIGH); // Audio Detected LED on
digitalWrite(listeningLed, LOW);
digitalWrite(partyLed, LOW);
AudioLevelCheck(); // Check incoming audio level
if (audioLevel = 500) { // If push button pressed, go to 'party' state
currentState = sParty;
}
break;
case sParty: // Party State
digitalWrite(partyLed, HIGH); // Party LEDs (motion) on
digitalWrite(listeningLed, LOW);
digitalWrite(detectedLed, LOW);
AudioLevelCheck();
if (audioLevel < 1) { // Return to 'listening' state if no audio
currentState = sListening;
}
if (analogRead(partySwitch) <= 500) { // Return to 'detected' state if no pushbutton
currentState = sAudioDetected;
}
break;
default: // Default Case aka Error Case
Serial.println("ERROR: default state");
currentState = sListening; // Reset back to 'listening' state
nextState = sAudioDetected;
break;
}
}
void AudioLevelCheck() { // Checks incoming Audio Level by taking
int count = 0; // 5 input values in 1 second intervals
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) { // then takes the average.
count += analogRead(audioPin);
delay(1000);
}
audioLevel = count / 5; // Audio Level stores the average
}
For the final, I hope to replace the pushbutton with sensors that will detect activity. The Arduino will then sense how many people are using Boomboxes and interact by dancing lights when more people are around and/or moving.
