Thread: How do you trigger an MP3 player by motion sensor?

Tweet

Hey does anyone know how to trigger an MP3 player with a motion sensor tied into a relay? What I want to do is to have my gate keeper that I'm planning greet TOTs as they walk into the graveyard, does anyone have any ideas?

Just do a search "mp3 hack" there's a bunch from our resident techies here,
Here's one to get ya started from Otaku;

Hope that gets you going in the right direction,& welcome to our abby-normal normals.....

After playing with my friend's setup, I finally just gave in and bought a Prop-1 controller and a Vmusic2 module. Write some basic code (or find it on the internet. PM me and I'll send you a link. I'm not sure if pimping my friend's site here is cool or not, bu they have some good tutorials in this realm.), hook up a trigger of some sort and you're golden.

I tried various hacking methods for my greeter and it just kept coming up short. I found that the best way to get to it work the way I wanted was to just use a prop controller. Between the 2 units, I'm in for about $100, but it'll give me a lot of flexibilty in making the greeter work. And I'll still have a few pins left for the controller to trigger some other effects in the haut if I so desire.
