New to Arduino, need help for Senior Project

Hello all,

For my senior thesis project, I need to be able to create a device that does the following:

  1. Detects a high frequency sound (input)
  2. Triggers an LED light, voice recording, and vibrations (output)

I am very, very new to Arduino, so I currently have no idea what board to use, how to go about doing this, or if any of this is even possible. I have been looking at the project page, and I saw that some of these functions are possible, but is there a way to combine them into one project instead of separate ones?

Please let me know if anyone has any suggestions as to which board to use, or just any ideas of how I should go about tackling this project.

Thank you!

Senior thesis projects are to demonstrate your understanding, not ours.
Voice recording is not an Arduino job.
What class is this?

It is my understanding that many class projects and even individual school assigned projects are given out by the instructor/professor with s/he blessing the student's use of online resources, including forums. Is this your case?

Like my open book exams of years gone by...

There seems to be a number of shields and boards capable of recording and playback:
Google search

The downside is price and time to receive from Asia. You really can do little work before you have all of the components. I would see if maybe you can find an ebay seller in your own country that can cut the time delay for shipping.

I've asked Op about outside help but in some other forums I have noticed that the teachers are "OK" with students getting outside suggestions and code. It is the reality of today.

Its a very open project, and we are allowed to use whatever resources that are available to us. Is there any way that I can connect a voice recording device to an arduino board?

hey ,Here is a products evvalution -Fireduino ,based on Arduino board ,maybe it can give your some advise

There is this audio playback project online. Not sure about the quality- the article suggests the audio file needs to be down-sampled quite severely. Its unclear whether the OP needs to just play a short pre-recorded phrase or something more sophisticated..

He will have graduated by the time he gets 50 people to take him through 50 baby steps here.

Thank you!

What frequency ?
Does it vary ?
Google on bat detector may give you some clues.

Seconded.

A digital solution may be appropriate for a degree thesis, i would not expect this at high scool level.
There are easier analogue methods.
