Overview
The main component of the module is a simple microphone, which is based on the LM386 amplifier and an electret microphone. This module’s output is analog and can be easily sampled and tested by an Arduino.
Features:
- Easy to use
- Provides analog output signal
- Easily integrates with Logic modules on the input side of Grove circuits
- Compatible with the Seed Grove System

While taking photos today is normally a digital affair, there is a wealth of visual information stored on film negatives. Digitization is possible, but it tends to be rather time-intensive, so photographer/hacker Seckin Sinan Isik decided to automate the process. His setup uses a film carrier augmented with a stepper motor and belt drive to advance the 35mm film under a tripod-mounted digital camera. This is controlled by an Arduino Nano, with the camera’s view shown via a video capture device on a nearby computer. In one mode, the user can adjust the film position semi-manually using pushbuttons, then scan the negative. The whole process can also be automated, with a Python computer vision routine. More details on the project can ben found in Isik's PetaPixel article here.
