Your friends come over to your place. They press the button to your door ringy dingy thingy.
The backing track to Sandstorm fades in. Each button press will play a "DU-DU-DU-DU-DU!" After a few of those, the main track plays on a loop for a few times.
Everyone gets a laugh and you have yourself a nice practical joke and possibly some copyright infringement.
python3 darudoorbell.py
Using a keyboard:
press a to DUDUDUD
press q to quit and terminate the script
Future implementation wil feature a GPIO button listener. Stay tuned.
Since it is supposed to be portable, I implemented this on a RaspberryPi 3.
You will need ffmpeg as part of your environment variables, or a local binary.
Actually building ffmpeg is pretty time consuming and tedious. Here's how you do it. As an alternative, RaspberryPi 4 has ffmpeg inbuilt.
Implement GPIO button listener for an actuall ringer, not a keyboard button.
Do some polish on the audio sequencing and timing. Right now it's pretty hack 'n slash.
Get a bluetooth speaker and test it out in the field.
Take pictures once I make the whole thing and be amazed that I did it :)
The implementation implies a bunch of audio processes playing some files stored locally. Each process played is stored locally inside a manager class in a list. At the time of writing, the list does not get populated to save its life.
It is a non-critical issue. The core functionality is still there. However, it makes polishing this code a bit of a nuisance. Will fix as soon as I figure out what I'm doing wrong (might be the raspbian, who knows??)
