Re: [tuxdroid-user] Imagination?

Nice to find some guys with the same needs :-)
Right now the microphone level is not monitored by tux itself but the  
captured sound is streamed continously to the computer so it should be  
possible to do whatever you imagine from the computer side.

As the ADC inside tuxaudio CPU continuously acquires the microphone  
signal, I thought of computing a kind of peak signal that would be sent to  
the computer each 100ms in order to get a sound level value without having  
to process the audio signal itself. But the main advantage is that this  
peak value could be used by the standalone behavior of tux, like flashing  
the blue leds when you clap in the hands.

We're now working on the sleep and ID stuff in the firmware, that may come  
next together with the improved light measurement.
