V2 microphone frequency detection

micro:bit
#1

Hi
I am trying to use the microphone on V2 to detect a certain sound melody and control a stepper motor. I found this cool extension from Joshua that should do the job https://github.com/JoshuaAHill/dissertation-ui-example which he presented in https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=LzkN4j2DB_w

I am just not able to get it running - any ideas? Cheers, Gernot

Hi @geab ,

It looks like that GitHub repository doesn’t have any substantial code. In the presentation he mentioned it uses a special version of MakeCode (around https://youtu.be/LzkN4j2DB_w?t=2032). The video is too blurry to see the URL.

I think the substantial part of Joshua’s work may be in another repo: https://github.com/JoshuaAHill/Dissertation-Project-Files, but that’s not a MakeCode extension.

It may be best to contact Joshua. Perhaps you can “Raise an Issue” on GitHub: https://github.com/JoshuaAHill/dissertation-ui-example/issues .

Thanks Bill for looking into the code behind. I will check with Joshua and get back with hopefully good news as I think that would make the microphone much more interesting & with an extension easy to use.
