Today I did a quick test and talked about my work with Milo at the Uni.  Firstly, I tried to adjust different variables to get different sounds out of the steel plate, but so far I haven’t found anything that works except the thickness of the plate. I had previously thought that the distance between…

Today I received a 9v battery, and I’m going to drill holes in 2mm and 3mm steel plates to test the battery and compare the sound. The first time I connected the 9v battery to the speaker through the relay module, I had the same problem as last time; no power to the speaker, only…

I got a mini screwdriver to connect the audio amplifier to the speakers, an electric drill to drill through the steel plate, and a relay module to send external power to the speakers. I’m going to experiment with these three things. I couldn’t use the LM386 before because I didn’t have the right screwdriver to…

Today I’m going to do an experiment with the arrival of steel plates, a large speaker, and jumper wires for an audio amplifier.  I purchased 10cm x 10cm sheets of steel in thicknesses of 0.8mm, 2mm and 3mm, with the intention of using the thickness of the sheets to create different sounds. The original plan…

Today I received a delivery of wooden board to experiment with new sounds and to test them on the speakers. I used thin boards, I realised that the thinner the boards, the less resonance they have at the point of test’s end. First, I cut and drilled holes in the wood to fit the size…

I have been working on attaching a mallet to a speaker cone with the goal of having it strike a metal such as a steel plate. To do this, I thought I would need a proper speaker with enough movable plate and enough power to control it. However, I couldn’t get the speakers within my…

This time, I connected two speakers. There wasn’t much change in the circuit; I simply connected one speaker to pin 10 of the Arduino in the same way as before. I connected the ‘-‘ part of the speaker to the ‘-‘ part of the breadboard, keeping in mind that I would connect more speakers later,…

For my project, I purchased an Arduino, speaker, breadboard, and resistors, and did a simple test of switching the speaker on and off. I first connected the Arduino to my computer to power it up and allow me to upload my code. I then decided which of the Arduino’s digital pins I wanted to use…

IDEA The sound is produced by attaching various types of sticks to multiple speaker drivers and hitting specific objects or parts of them. This is an abstract work that treats the speakers as players of sound rather than transmitters of sound, and the minimum number of speakers is between eight and sixteen, depending on the…
