The Wave Shield for Arduino is one of Adafruit’s earliest shield kits and remains a perennial favorite. And for good reason — it’s among the easiest and most flexible means of adding quality sound effects to an Arduino project!
Like a fine wine, open source projects improve with age. We’ve taught this classic shield a new trick: a realtime voice changer! Speak like everyone’s favorite baritone Sith lord or sing along with the Lollipop Guild. The Wave Shield has long been a staple among makers’ Halloween projects. This latest addition really cinches it!\
There are three central components to this project:
Arduino Uno (an older Arduino Duemilanove or “328” Diecimila can be used as well…but not an Arduino Mega nor Leonardo, sorry).
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
