Art Project: R2D2

[iMike]

Hey guy,

so for my art project I wanted to make an R2D2 Fridge, which makes a sound when u open it (R2D2 Scream or something), but Im not really sure how Im supposed to make it make a sound

thats why I came here with a few question, just to make sure it would work

 

1. Am I able to just draw the power from the wall, if i use some sort of adaptor if so, what should I get?

 

2. Would this work as Im intending it to work? (Pic)

 

3. What kind of device would I need to make the sound? And can I just disassemble my old speakers and use the cones?

 

Btw, the weird box on the right of the pic is a "devider"

Fridges already have detectors for when they open to turn on lights (usually a button that gets pushed when the door is closed)

 

if you are comfortable taking that apart, you could just use that trigger.

So just add a sound device to that circuit?, but what would I need as a Sound device then?

I'm pretty sure you can buy basic boards that you can load a small osund file on to and hook up to a speaker, but a Raspberry pi or Arduino would also do just as well.
