Coding /Navigated Audio Helmet

Other Hardware Interactive Art
1

Hi, guys,

I am new to this board. I'm working on a project. It's about a game. For the game I need a controller and a helmet.

There are two players. The controller of player A sends a sound signal and this signal is output in the helmet. With the helmet, player B can now orientate himself in a room full of obstacles (blind) only with the sound.

I have two Arduino and two NRF24l01, one for the helmet and one for the controller.

&&question&&

1.) How can I code this?
(e.g. when player A presses the left button of the controller, the helmet makes the left sound, when the player presses the right button of the controller, the helmet makes the right sound accordingly)

2.) Further question to 1) --> Can I have different tones output for left and right? (for example "left" for left and "right" for right.

3.) Is it better to use headphones in the helmet from loudspeakers or in ear?

I hope you guys have some ideas and possibly give me some help, especially with the coding.

Regards.

Seems easy enough, just send a simple serial message, 0,1,2,3,4, etc
Receiver receives and creates a simple Tone() for some duration for the number received.

Thank you for your quick response. Sounds good. However, I am totally new to Arduino. Do you know a good tutorial for coding this?

Did you try searching the forum for references to the NRF24L01 module to see other posts?

Or try the Arduino Project Hub for completed projects involving that module.

Hi volker199,
This sounds like a really fun idea. Could you provide the part number for the Arduino hat you are using (that thing with the buttons and joystick)? I could look up some specific code for it.

I think it would be fairly easy to send different tones for each direction.

For sound, I think I would use speakers. I'm not sure which one would be easier but it might be easier to put on the helmet and take it off if the user does not need to fiddle with headphones.
