BRIEF 2
“It’s Not Supposed
     to do That”
    Project: Baby Soother
Light & Sound




I am most interested in using LIGHT
     and SOUND in my project
My aim is to turn a plain boring toy into
something more functional, exciting and inspiring
           by applying electronics!
I am going to use a soft toy because they have
   no function other than being a comfort for
  children – I want to expand on this by giving
         them more useful functionality.
I am currently reading this book by Tom Igoe.
There are extensive projects inside showing you how to
   implement electronics into soft toys, essentially
   bringing them to life, giving them character and
                       purpose.
Research has shown that the sounds of the
 womb can help newborn babies to relax
and sleep better as it reminds them of the
comfortable safe environment they lived in
              for 9 months.
The sound of the mother’s heartbeat is
 also part of the womb environment.
So I want to create a sound reactive
baby soother which will play womb
 sounds whenever the baby cries
There are several toys on the market with
similar functions but none of them have a
   sound reactive sensor, you have to
physically push a button or squeeze them
         to activate lights/sounds.
I will need to use a microphone sensor to
pick up the sounds of the baby crying. The
Arduino forum suggests these electret mics
        are great for picking up voices.
A Waveshield is needed to place on top of the
Arduino – this will read the SD card and play the
  sounds of womb/heartbeat music through a
 small speaker. Volume can be controlled with
         the onboard potentiometer.
Babies love glow worms because they
generate a cozy warm light which makes
      them feel safe and at ease
I also want my toy to have glowing
LEDs which pulse at the same time
      as the heartbeat sounds

Editor's Notes

  1. I have chosen to tackle brief 2 because I want to challenge myself to something completely new – in this case, changing the function of something using electronics and arduino. It also gives more freedom of choice as you can choose to alter the function of almost anything so long as it is family friendly.
  2. I am most interested in using light and sound in my project as there have been some very inspirational interactive designs (examples on next slide)
  3. Turn something plain into something more functional, exciting and inspiring – improve the functionality of the toy by applying electronics!
  4. Soft toys have no function other than comfort or playthings for children – easily manipulated using electronics
  5. I am currently readingthis book by Tom Igoe, as recommended by Neil in class. There are extensive projects inside showing you how to implement electronics into soft toys, essentially bringing them to life, giving them character and purpose.
  6. Sound of the mother’s heartbeat
  7. Several toys on market with similar functions but none with sensors
  8. I will need sound sensors or pressure sensors to pick up on baby’s restlessness and cries. These small electret microphones come with a 100x opamp to amplify the sounds of voice, door knocks, etc loud enough to be picked up by a microcontroller's Analog to Digital converter. 

  9. A Waveshield is needed to place on top of the Arduino – this will read the SD card and play the soundsof mother's womb/heartbeat music through a small speaker. Volume can be controlled with the onboard thumbwheel potentiometer.
  10. Babies like glow worms because they generate a cozy warm light which makes them feel safe and at ease
  11. LED dim light to pulse at the same time as heart beat (warm glow through toy's chest).
