Thread: short audio clip on a timer (not motion)

Tweet

Ok..another newbie here. I did just construct a crank ghost and am starting to look into pnuematics. One simple little thing I want to do is play about 1 minute of audio from my Mp3 player into loud speaker in my upstairs about every 35 mintues. I dont want the audio to be triggered but just be on a timer to start and stop it every 35 mintues. I see Gemmy has a box but I read somewhere you can only set the timer on 2 hour increments. Other than that I only see soundcards and circuit boards. out there....which looks a bit complicated. Isn't there some sort of audio box out there that suits my needs?

for my fcg, I made a CD.
Track 1 : "heeelllllppppp meeeeeee"
track2 : 2 min of silence
track 3: "can anybody hear meeeee?"
track 4 : 2 min of silence


i think you get the idea.

So how did you get it to start and stop? Ha...I suppose I could just create Mp3 files of 30min of silence inbetween the real audio.

Thats probably the easiest way to do it.

Why so long between audio. 30 mins is a long time. I have several props with audio that play every couple of minutes. You can use audacity to create the audio file and play it on your ipod.

just make a silence wav file of whatver length u need. any cd player will play the tracks in order.
