1. imagine a visual to sound robot
Sound Robot is a simple system. It translates shades into music tones and broadcasts them to the world. The process is diagrammed in the picture below:
The personal manipulation box contains the rule set of the translation. It is entirely based on my personal taste, a play between different mediums, others might have different rule sets. The making of this robot is extremely fun. I had recently acquired a crate of Megalopolis games for a fairly decent price from Japan. I had one when I was kid and I knew it for a face that it contains a small mobile unit in it. This is a fairly easy hack, all I have to do is extending the motor wires out and connect them to my motor drive chips. After that, I made small structure to support the photocell and program my microcontroller. For the first iteration, I connected the sound output directly to a portable speaker with built-in speaker as seen in the video above.
