Help! I want to build a box that will play random sounds!
I was wondering if someone can help me out here.
I want to build a circuit that will play ramdom sounds that I can put onto a chip from my pc. I want a simple push button control....something like one of those singing fish but for a different purpose. I would like to have say 10 or more sound clips that it could play randomly with the push of a button. Or if possible and not to complicated multiple buttons for different clips. Can someone point me in the right direction here...book, website, company that sells a kit? What kind of a chip is normally used to hold the sounds for something like this...how would I program it? Looking for a way to do this and keep it small and not really expensive. I figure if that make greeting cards that play music and the singing fish is not that expensive then I should be abe to make something like this relatively small and cheap. Thanks for any help!! |

No, this has to be standalone and cheap. I was thinking something that can be made for less then $15 I don't want it to be re-programmable. One time setup and that is all. I have a few projects I want to put into my gameroom and have certain sounds play if a lever is pushed or a button is pressed. Is something like this possible in the price range I mention? |

Radio Shack used to sell a voice recorder chip. It was cheap and I think it will do what you want. They didn't make the chip, so you should still be able to find it (or something similar). As I recall, it had an analog input and an analog output, The storage was on-chip. Bob |

You can still get them at www.futurlec.com, in DIP. http://www.futurlec.com/ICSFOthers.shtml the ISD1110P gives you 10 seconds of recording time. Regards, Bob Monsen |

And I am sure that looking at e-bay will give you a price under the 15 USD. http://www.google.com/search?q=sound%20recorder%20chip gives: http://www.scary-terry.com/dsr/dsr.htm http://www.mnsi.net/~boucher/Soundplayer.html http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/fwinkler/work03/isd.html The scary-terry link above is more what I am looking for. With one possible advancement ....multiple sounds on 1 chip that will play at random or in sequence with multiple button pushes. I don't want it to be re-programmable. One time setup and that is all. I have a few projects I want to put into my gameroom and have certain sounds play if a lever is pushed or a button is pressed. Is something like this possible in the price range I mention? I am afraid that making yourself such a device will get you less quality for more or same amount of money. Your probably right but I would still like to try and make it myself. I don't need cd quality sound for what I am doing. Anyway, I will give it a shot. Thanks for the help. |
