Intro: Astley-izer

A Rick Roll for real life.  If you somehow missed the internet meme of Rick-rolling,  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rickrolling(read this).  I want to take this meme from the internet to the real world. Enter my trusty wave shield and PIR sensor.  A real easy build and software mash-up.   

Parts:

Arduino Uno
Adafruit WaveShield
Parallax PIR
Some wire
A project Case

How to:  Download "Never Gonna give you up", covert the file as per Ladyada's instructions for the wave shield(Must be .WAV at 16bits and 22hertz), Connect the PIR to 5volts, Ground and Digital Pin6 on the wave shield.  Upload provided code to the arduino, place the wave shield on it, throw it in a discreet case.  Voila you're done.   Now go Astley up the place.  

One other RickRoller out there, this one uses a timer and more electronic gadgetry.  Mine is ridiculously easy and fun for messing around with random strangers.  I've rickrolled some random people so far,  Most don't find it nearly as funny as I do.  




Yay Video.  Sorry but all I have right now is built in laptop webcam.  Doing the best I can with what I got.  Put a laser cutter in my hands and I'll Make something EPIC.  Hint, Hint.  

I rick-rolled my girlfriend half a dozen times tonight in our small Residence Inn suite.    My joy was uncontained. The surprise is everything.  Sorry I didn't capture her delight at being pranked.    It's tough to leave video running for hours to capture the few moments when someone will walk by my Astley traps.  But I assure you, its worth the staking out some place. 

THE CODE:  Credit where its due, left some for Kristian Gohlke,  LadyAda also gets mad props for being so Amazing!  Thx Limor.  I couldn't have begun to do this without your products, awesome code and inspiration attitude.

Rick-rolling is dead, olde-hatte.
Can you rebuild this differently?

Oh my meyer taunter, The way you rick roll is dead. Steampunk and AnythingPunk is dead, I'm just beginning. Maybe I'll load some Spice Girls in ur honor tomorrow. Because changing the songs is as easy as copying them to the SD card. And more directly, this is the rebuild. I bet you would like some superfluous nixie tubes huh. Not gonna happen from me. Nixie's for Pixies I say.

Yup, those Pixies are the ones i was referring too. I think Black Francis really blossomed after they broke up. His solo stuff is so much better. "Teenager of the Year" might be my favorite album. Not from that album but still good.

How does it sense when there is someone nearby, IR, proximity, photosensitive?

Parallax PIR, passive Infra-Red sensor. Connected to digital pin6 on the arduino.
