Story

This tutorial is going to introduce how this Grove-Analog Microphone works via Serial Port commonly while we will illustrate its excellent performance on our new-born Wio Terminal, one of the most popular newly-published products of our Seeed Studio! Can't wait? Let's START!!!

PART I

Play With Arduino

If this is the first time you work with Arduino, we firmly recommend you to see Getting Started with Arduino before the start.

Materials required:

Steps:

1. Connect Grove-Sound Sensor to port A0 of Grove-Base Shield. And Plug Grove-Base Shield into Seeeduino and connect Seeeduino to PC via a USB cable.

2. Please copy Demo codefor Arduino to Arduino IDE and upload. If you do not know how to upload the code, please check how to upload code.

Success

Click on Serial > Plotter to get the changing curve of the sensor. Please make a noise to view the change of the value.

PART II

Play With Wio Terminal

Materials required:

Steps:

1. Plug Grove-Analog Microphone to Wio Terminal via Grove cable and also connect Wio Terminal to PC through a USB cable.

2. Copy the Demo Code for Wio Terminal into your Arduino IDE and upload.

Success

The image will display on the screen of Wio Terminal if everything goes well.

/*
  Analog input, analog output, serial output

  Reads an analog input pin, maps the result to a range from 0 to 255 and uses
  the result to set the pulse width modulation (PWM) of an output pin.
  Also prints the results to the Serial Monitor.
*/

// These constants won't change. They're used to give names to the pins used:
const int analogInPin = A0;  // Analog input pin that the potentiometer is attached to
const int analogOutPin = 9; // Analog output pin that the LED is attached to

int sensorValue = 0;        // value read from the pot
int outputValue = 0;        // value output to the PWM (analog out)

void setup() {             
  Serial.begin(9600);      // initialize serial communications at 9600 bps
}

void loop() {
  sensorValue = analogRead(analogInPin);        // read the analog in value
  outputValue = map(sensorValue, 0, 1023, 0, 255);       // map it to the range of the analog out
  analogWrite(analogOutPin, outputValue);               // change the analog out value

  Serial.println(outputValue);    // print the results to the Serial Monitor

  // wait 2 milliseconds before the next loop for the analog-to-digital
  // converter to settle after the last reading:
  delay(2);
