Sound Sensor

So continuing with my developments to Sparki I purchased this sound sensor:

It was really easy to use I connected the GND to GND and VCC to 5V VCC ports and then the pin labelled output to analog pin 0.

Then I wrote a simple conversation bot program to test out the sensor and see if by talking randomly to Sparki I could make it seem like a conversation. This is the code:

#include <Sparki.h>  // include the sparki library

void setup()
{
  sparki.servo(0);
  delay(2000);
  int soundA = analogRead(0);
  delay (2000);
  sparki.clearLCD();
  // print out the value you read:
  sparki.print(soundA);
  sparki.updateLCD();
  delay (1000);
  int soundB=analogRead(0);
  delay(2000);
   sparki.print(soundB);
  sparki.updateLCD();
  delay (1000);
  int soundC = analogRead(0);
  delay (2000);
  sparki.clearLCD();
  // print out the value you read:
  sparki.print(soundC);
  sparki.updateLCD();
  delay (1000);
  
  if ((soundB> 1.26) || (soundC>1.26))
  {
  
  sparki.clearLCD();
  sparki.drawString(10, 1, "hi ash how are you?");
  sparki.updateLCD();
  delay(1000);
  int soundA = analogRead(0);
  delay (2000);
  sparki.clearLCD();
  // print out the value you read:
  sparki.print(soundA);
  sparki.updateLCD();
  delay (1000);
  int soundB=analogRead(0);
  delay(2000);
   sparki.print(soundB);
  sparki.updateLCD();
  delay (1000);
  int soundC = analogRead(0);
  delay (2000);
  sparki.clearLCD();
  // print out the value you read:
  sparki.print(soundC);
  sparki.updateLCD();
  delay (1000);
 
  if((soundB> 1.26) || (soundC>1.26))
  {
 delay(2000);  
    sparki.clearLCD();
  sparki.drawString(10, 1, "affirmative, you have had a good day");
  sparki.updateLCD();
  delay(1000);
  sparki.clearLCD();
  randomSeed(analogRead(1));
  int response = random(1, 10);
  sparki.clearLCD();
  sparki.print(response);
  sparki.updateLCD();
  delay(1000);
  if (response<3)
  {
  sparki.drawString(20, 2, "when I am happy I dance...I'm dancing!");
  sparki.updateLCD();
  delay(1000);
    sparki.servo(0);
  sparki.moveForward(3);
  sparki.RGB(RGB_GREEN);
  sparki.beep();
  sparki.moveLeft(90);
  sparki.RGB(RGB_RED);
  sparki.beep();
  sparki.moveForward(3);
  sparki.RGB(RGB_GREEN);
  sparki.moveBackward(3);
  sparki.beep();
  sparki.moveRight(90);
  sparki.RGB(RGB_BLUE);
  sparki.beep();
  delay(2000);
  }
  if (response>=3)
  {
     sparki.clearLCD();
   sparki.drawString(20, 2, "here is a rainbow");
    sparki.RGB(RGB_RED);
              delay(500);
            
              sparki.RGB(RGB_ORANGE);
              delay(500);
              
              sparki.RGB(RGB_YELLOW);
              delay(500);
              
              sparki.RGB(RGB_GREEN);
              delay(500);
              sparki.beep();
              
              sparki.RGB(RGB_BLUE);
              delay(500);
              
              sparki.RGB(RGB_INDIGO);
              delay(500);
            
              sparki.RGB(RGB_VIOLET);
              delay(500);
              sparki.beep();
            
              sparki.RGB(RGB_WHITE);
              delay(500);
              
              sparki.RGB(RGB_OFF);
              delay(500);
		}


else
   {
     delay(2000);
   sparki.clearLCD();
  sparki.drawString(10, 1, "oh dear maybe i can cheer you up?");
  sparki.updateLCD();
  delay(1000);
  sparki.clearLCD();
  randomSeed(analogRead(1));
  int response = random(1, 10);
  sparki.clearLCD();

  sparki.updateLCD();
  delay(1000);
  if (response<3)
  {
  sparki.drawString(20, 2, "maybe my dance can make you smile");
  sparki.updateLCD();
  delay(1000);
    sparki.servo(0);
  sparki.moveForward(3);

  sparki.beep();
  sparki.moveLeft(90);
  sparki.RGB(RGB_RED);
  sparki.beep();
  sparki.moveForward(3);

  sparki.moveBackward(3);
  sparki.beep();
  sparki.moveRight(90);
  sparki.RGB(RGB_BLUE);
  sparki.beep();
  delay(2000);
  }
  if (response>=3)
  {
    sparki.clearLCD();
    sparki.drawString(20,2, "This is my sad dance");
    sparki.updateLCD();
    delay(1000);
    sparki.moveForward(5);
    sparki.beep(500);
    sparki.moveRight(10);
    sparki.moveLeft(10);
    sparki.beep(350);
    sparki.moveBackward(5);
    sparki.moveLeft(30);
    sparki.beep(600);
    sparki.moveRight(60);
    sparki.beep(400);
    }
   }
  }
  }
}

This is something that I will be continuing to work on and something I find really interesting. If anybody else is making something similar I would be really interested to know 🙂 🙂
