 | | NXT Sound Sensor
|
| The LEGO Education blog had some information a while ago on the NXT sound sensor. In addition to distinguishing decibel levels, they mentioned it featured "tone recognition". Can someone in the know comment on this feature. Can the sound sensor (...) (19 years ago, 5-May-06, to lugnet.robotics)

| (...) Hmmm is there a "raw data" mode for the sound sensor? Seems to me, it may be possible (maybe not yet but one day) to write a program that does FFT analysis, as long as it can get the raw wave data from the sensor. I'm assuming the "tone mode" (...)

| (...) The raw mode still just returns one number - essentially the integrated sound energy, where the weighting function is determined by the sensor mode (dB or dBA) and is all done on-board the sound sensor itself, not in the NXT. (...) You only (...) (19 years ago, 5-May-06, to lugnet.robotics)

| (...) There is a curious 6th wire connection from the sound sensor which sends analog sound to the CPU. I am assuming that using some 3rd party firmware, it might be possible to digitize and process sound data. But I think turning the CPU into a DSP (...) (19 years ago, 6-May-06, to lugnet.robotics)

| (...) I agree about high grade DSP, but frequency discrimination may be quite possible... in the past we had a product based on a puny 8MHz 80C188 that was able to run ISDN stack, transfer 64 kbits/s data on one channel, 64 kbits/s voice on the (...) (19 years ago, 6-May-06, to lugnet.robotics)
