Project:
Using two microphones we will locate a sound source. Then we will fire a projectile at the source of the sound.
Materials:
3-D printed platform
solenoid
2 microphones
raspberry pi 2
Setup:
We will have a stationary platform with a rotating disc on top. On top of the rotating disc will be the two microphones and the solenoid.
The solenoid will be at the center of the rotating disc, one microphone will be directly in front of the solenoid and the other microphone
will be offset to the right of the first microphone.
Journal #1 - 9/25/15
We decided how our project would work and look and split our project into two parts: sensory and response.
First we will work on our sensory part. We will do some testing with two microphones in a similar setup to the final project and see how
well we can determine the direction and distance of the sound source.
Journal #2 - 10/2/15
We researched types of sound sensors, how they work, how sound location works:
