2019-04-18 at 1 AM UTC in Anyone here experienced with Arduino, or at least electronic circuitry more generally?Also, I have so far deduced/inferred the door release mechanism is based on a constant flow of voltage that is temporarily disrupted via the mechanical button on the intercom that you push to let the person in.
I don't want that to be DIRECTLY manipulated by the Arduino, because then if my computer crashes, the front entrance to the entire building is now compromised.
I want to somehow SEND an impulse that disrupts the voltage flow already occurring inside the intercom. -
2019-04-18 at 12:57 AM UTC in Anyone here experienced with Arduino, or at least electronic circuitry more generally?So I'm trying to do a bunch of rewiring of an apartment building intercom and this is pretty much me right now...
Anyway, this is the circuitry for the intercom:
The main components I'm seeing here are:
1. Audio IN and OUT.
2. Buzzer IN.
3. Door release OUT.
I want to connect these to an Arduino (I have one lying around... I have basically only put together a flashing LED setup... The "hello world" of electronics basically).
So, how do I input audio into an Arduino device (and in turn into a Raspberry Pi or other miniature computer)?
And then audio output?
And buzzer input (which I would then, on a continuous loop, listen for any incoming voltage... And in turn send a message from the RPi to, say, my cell phone - which by the way, software/networking wise, no problemo whatsoever for me).
Then I, using a virtually identical mechanism, only in reverse, send a voltage signal OUT to the DOOR RELEASE.
Software-wise, I've got it all solved so far.
But, like, which of these Arduino pins do I connect each wire from the intercom device to?

Originally posted by Narc lol at you idiots. Just coz your only experience of drug users is junkies portrayed on TV as skinny homeless spotty types with greasy hair you think thats what every single drug addict looks like. This is exactly what I'm talking about when I say y'all get all your info from mainstream media and you buy that bullshit just as much as every other sheep.
If drug addicts are all skinny then explain Phillip Seymour Hoffman, John Belushi and Chris Farley then?
The only addicts that are skinny and or dirty are the ones so preoccupied with using that they can't/don't find time to eat and look after themselves properly. Thats just a small minority of users. Usually the really really messed up ones.
.
Can confirm.
I was a fat (opiate) addict. -

Interesting...
I never bothered to look into it too deeply until now, but yeah it turns out that with extensive copying of the existing books, as well as commentaries and so on being written at the time, not a lot of original works would have been truly and irrecoverably lost. -
2019-04-17 at 9:08 PM UTC in The Hanging Gardens of BabylonI'm still pissed about the Library of Alexandria being burned down...
Like, imagine the works of literature, records of human history, and so on, that once existed and will never, ever be recovered. -

2019-04-17 at 9 PM UTC in Constructing an Impenetrable FortressAlso, by any chance, does anyone here know precisely how the door release mechanism works?
I guess it's a constant electrical signal that, when interrupted (by a button mechanically suppressing it), the front door is released.
I gotta be extra careful about mucking around with all this because if I fuck something up, the front door to the entire building will be unlocked 24/7... lol. -

Like wtf?
I suppose I can just test each wire one at a time, but it would be nice if the colors matched.
At least, I'm assuming that those wires have a direct correspondence (except for the ground wire... I get why that one doesn't need to go to the actual phone/intercom device). -

2019-04-17 at 8:29 PM UTC in Constructing an Impenetrable FortressAlso, the "just no - fuck off" bit doesn't overcome the middle of the night front door buzzings that wake me up, or the assholes that tap on the rear window at any time of day, because I can't tell them to fuck off without first stopping everything I'm doing and going to see who it is I'm telling to fuck off.

Works great and requires little technical knowledge.
I'm aware that I'm taking the super autistic approach rather than just being assertive...
I am working on the assertiveness angle simultaneously, and have been getting much better at saying "no."
My yes/no ratio has been gradually improving with the necessary exercise it's been getting recently.
But I need more... just an extra layer of security.
Plus, the whole project is actually pretty fun and educational for me. -
2019-04-17 at 8:20 PM UTC in Constructing an Impenetrable FortressAs many of you have surmised by now, I have a bad habit for letting derelicts and reprobates into my home.
Factor in that I live in a town absolutely brimming with such unwanted visitors, and you have a recipe for perpetual failure in life.
I thought of just relocating to another town, but I've been doing that my whole life. I need to stop running away from my problems and start facing them and dealing with them head on. But first, I need some space to allow me to rebuild some of the momentum I once had.
So therefore, I have set out to construct an impenetrable barrier between the undesirables that dwell outside, and the peace, safety, and tranquility conducive to productivity and personal and psychological growth that exists inside these walls.
Here is my entire plan laid out for others to see. I feel like if I make a public declaration of my itemized checklist of steps required (largely inspired by Octavian's recent "Next week I will..." thread), that I will be more likely to follow through on each step.
So here goes:
1. Rewiring my apartment intercom so I can more easily intercept visitors that at least have the decency to try to use the front door like a normal visitor. I also want to be able to completely block any potentially noisy "buzz" sounds altogether after hours, or while I'm particularly busy during the day and need to focus.
1A.Download and study the precise intercom wiring schematics.
1B.Purchase soldering kit and wire cutters/strippers and various other things I might need for this project.
1C. Work out how I am going to reconnect all the different components into an Arduino board and Raspberry Pi so that it can all be controlled via devices on my network.
2. Controlling unwanted visits at my rear patio door (the bane of every ground floor apartment dweller).
2A. Install outdoor (WiFi connected) camera with two way voice communication (so that I can first see who it is, then ask them what they want, all before even approaching the door, let alone having to open it to find out). I also believe that the camera will also deter the more criminally oriented visitors (it will probably freak them out and maybe keep them away entirely), or the more crazy/paranoid perpetually drugged out and/or schizo ranters and so on (who will be likewise freaked out and likely not return).
2B. Install pressure sensor mat that will immediately turn on the outdoor camera's lights. This is also meant more as a deterrent to hopefully remind people that A FUCKING REAR PATIO DOOR ISN'T MEANT TO BE KNOCKED ON WHEN A PERSON HAS A FRONT DOOR YOU FUCKING UNBELIEVABLE FUCKS!!!11 (sorry, temporary side rant).
3. Add speech-to-text and text-to-speech interception of BOTH front intercom AND rear patio, so that I can actually just let the machine answer it if I feel like it. I think I'm gonna have a recording of Consuela (of Family Guy fame) saying "Noo, noo, Superman not home."
4. A backup plan for the especially persistent.
4A. Wrap barbwire around baseball bat.
4B. Approach patio door with said bat and have the curtains automatically slide over and a bright light automatically shine directly on me.
4C. If they still don't get the hint... Proceed to bludgeon unwanted visitor with said bat. -

No idea. There were insufficient serial flashers simultaneously operating in this small geographical area to warrant a specific description of this particular flasher's penis.
All I remember was that he was described as in his early 20's and rode a bike to all his flashing spots.
