posted this in the interactive art forum but realised i should have put it here instead. sorry
Hello everyone,
i am super super new to the forum and to the world of arduino and programming so i was wondering if you could advise me on a project im trying to complete.
I have been experimenting with combining technologies to make interesting new work from printed visuals.
I am looking to create a poster that plays audio when it detects the presence of a person.
i've been using conductive ink for the posters and i have manage to use an arduino to create a basic capacitive proximity sensor when connected to the ink.
i want to move on to the next step which is to make this sensor trigger audio but i have no idea how to go about it or program it. I've figured i need a waveshield which i've purchased and soldered but now i don't know how to go about combining the proximity sensor and the waveshield to trigger audio.
any help would be greatly appreciated as i'm feeling wayyyyy out of my depth here, i have no skills at circuits and programming whatsoever! stressed out
thank you
