Hey guys!
I'm a hobbyist plushie maker and have been using greeting card sound boards to make my creations talk. Now I find that the project I'm starting doesn't have space for the five switches I normally sew into the plushie, so I had a bright (or possibly silly) idea.
"What if I could use just one switch connected to a compact randomizer or sequencer, which in turn activates one of the five sounds each time I press the switch?"
So yeah, does anyone have any idea where I could get a device, or schematics for a device, like that? Would have to be pretty small and preferably use a button cell battery. Oh, and assume (correctly) that I'm a complete newbie when it comes to electronics! My experience is limited to soldering longer wires to these sound boards.
If you need more pictures or a more complete description of the sound chip I'm using, just ask! =)
Edit: Just to clarify, I'm looking for something that will do one of these two things:
Case A: Randomizer
Given Sound board is operational and hooked into randomizer device,
When the only switch is pressed,
Then a random sound is played
Case B: Sequencer
Normal use:
Given Sound board is operational and hooked into sequencer device,
When the only switch is pressed,
Then the next sound in the sequence is played
Sequencer reaches end of sequence:
Given Sound board is operational and hooked into sequencer device,
And sequencer has previously played sound 5 of 5
When the only switch is pressed,
Then the first sound in the sequence is played
