Programmer Mike Tsao has devised a clever method to program an Arduino board using sound.

He likes to build bare bones Arduino clones rather than sacrifice full dev boards, and instead of programming them via traditional means, he is using his computer’s sound card.

This proof-of-concept is just waiting for you to put it to good use. [Mike Tsao] wrote an Arduino sketch that lets him decode incoming audio data which could be used to program the device. He’s ...

Visit the Kickstarter website to see a demonstration of the Arduino Audio Shield inaction with 138 words programmed into the shield, and to also make a pledge for the new Arduino shield with ...

The SoundDuino Arduino sound shield is capable of working with voltages from 3.3v to 5v and if you use the other Arduino boards, the only pins that you require are GND, VCC, RX, TX.
