Interactive touch art with sound, provided by CircuitPython #ArtTuesday #CircuitPython #Feather

Austin Fisk with Rashea Minor have created two interactive art projects.

Rashea painted the giraffe and frog with both conductive (electric) and non-conductive black paint. Each animal has a mode controller touch spot and multiple other touch spots that play sounds. The mode controller swaps out the sounds that play with other sounds. This project uses compressed .mp3 audio files instead of uncompressed .wav in order to pile more files into the limited space of the embedded system.

Parts include an Adafruit Feather nRF52840 Express, an Adafruit 12-Key Capacitive Touch Breakout MPR121 and Adafruit Speaker – Plug & Play Audio Amplifier. Programmed in CircuitPython.

A Frog Touch Painting has different sound modes. There are 11 different “sound” touch spots and one “mode” touch spot with two different possible sound modes, creating a total of 22 possible sounds. The modes can be changed by touching the frog’s eye.
