Yanny or Laurel robot #yannyorlaurel @adafruit #adafruit #CRICKIT

Yanny or Laurel robot (video), we had about 1 more hour before these meme expires, so we made a voting bot, it says the word, logs to csv, moves head, has clickable, light up buttons, it’s a voting machine.. Made with Adafruit CRICKIT, code is here.

# CircuitPython 3.0 CRICKIT demo

from adafruit_seesaw.seesaw import Seesaw

ss = Seesaw(i2c)



print("Yanny or Laurel data logging!")

LOOKLEFT = 60

LOOKRIGHT = 120



#################### 1 Servo

pwm = PWMOut(ss, 17)

pwm.frequency = 50

myservo = servo.Servo(pwm)

myservo.angle = LOOKATPERSON # introduce yourself



#################### 2 buttons w/2 LEDs

BUTTON_1 = 2

BUTTON_2 = 3

LED_1    = 8

LED_2    = 9



# Two buttons are pullups, connect to ground to activate

ss.pin_mode(BUTTON_1, ss.INPUT_PULLUP)

ss.pin_mode(BUTTON_2, ss.INPUT_PULLUP)

# Two LEDs are outputs, on by default

ss.pin_mode(LED_1, ss.OUTPUT)

ss.pin_mode(LED_2, ss.OUTPUT)

ss.digital_write(LED_1, True)

ss.digital_write(LED_2, True)



#################### log files

logfile = "/log.csv"

# check that we could append if wanted to

try:

    fp = open(logfile, "a")

    fp.close

except:

    print("File system not writable, halting")

    while True:

        pass



#################### Audio files

wavfile = "yanny.wav"

f = open(wavfile, "rb")

wav = audioio.WaveFile(f)

a = audioio.AudioOut(board.A0)

a.play(wav)

t = time.monotonic()



# Wait

while time.monotonic() - t  15.5:

                a.pause()



# now we have a selection!

with open(logfile, "a") as fp:

    print("Writing!"+selection+", 1\n")

    fp.write(selection+", 1\n")

    fp.flush()

print("Written")



# OK play the rest of the music

a.resume()

while a.playing:

    pass



ss.digital_write(LED_1, False)

ss.digital_write(LED_2, False)



microcontroller.reset()
