Hack a voice changer to add an Arduino input

Hack a voice changer to add an Arduino input
Another quick hack. I purchased a voice changer because I was looking for something cheap that could be hacked into an voice input device. Basically I wanted to animate a skull when I spoke. Added bonus, now the skull puppet would also have a scary voice.
I am going to show you how to hack a voice changer to use as a digital input for an Arduino project. I leave the output or reaction up to you.

I am assuming that you have a little bit of electronics and soldering experience. I will also assume that you have some familiarity with Arduino.

You will need
  •  A voice changer module. (8$ at Wallymart)
  •  A 741 opamp ic.
  • an LED of choice (not necessary, but provides a cute little visual input that things are working, and will provide clues as to how to change the circuit into a LED light organ.)
  • a resistor for your led (220 ohms - 1 k will work alright, you only need this if you are using the LED)
  • some hookup wire.

Tools

  • Soldering iron and solder
  • wire snips

Great innovation that works on arduino because it can understand the input language and give output in better way.

I'm joking around but it may be confusing to others.
