Disaster has struck!
Over the weekend I received my Adafruit Electret Microphone. I eagerly soldered the included pins onto the board and set about testing it with the arduino's analog inputs. However, there seems to be no actual output. I looked on adafruit's website and found their example code but I was still unsuccessful:
As you can see from the image, the output is always constant. I've tried making sounds near the microphone, an arms length away and even tapped the damn thing and still nothing!
This unfortunately means that it is highly unlikely that my project, or at least desired plan, will be finished by the deadline. I will still try to make some form of useful project, by creating an app on my phone, but without any working microphone the project simply won't be finished. I apologise severely to all of the community, as I feel I have let you down and wasted the time of some very kind people.
On the (slightly) brighter side of things, I will still continue this project after the deadline! I believe that without the pressure of a deadline i will be able to solve my problems with the microphone and finally get this working. I will still produce a review of the components and a final blog on the app.
Thank you dearly for all your time,
Jack Franklin
