Need help building a jet turbine sound module.

akashthakur0305
akashthakur0305 over 1 year ago

Hi All,
I've been trying to make a Jet engine sound module,
I want to 3d print a turbine model and have a potentiometer control the turbine startup/ spooling up/ spooling down / shutdown sound.
Can't seem to find any Arduino code for playing these sounds.
Either on the board or on a MP3 module.

I found a old video on YouTube, no tutorials though,
Can anyone help.


Thanks in advance.

    Do a search for RC jet engine sound module and you'll find several devices that you can operate using a PWM channel from the arduino.

    The sound in this clip is from a turboshaft helicopter engine. You can hear the blades at 1:39.

    The video leaves a lot of questions.  

    Do you want audio to play with a rc transmission radio? Will this speaker be on the plane?

    Side note, it may be cheeper to buy a jet engine than invest the time and money into programming arduino. 

    If you want to create a program that outputs power level depending on the throttle position, I would start with breaking up a engine start up into segments, power changing segments, increase and decrease. Than have separate power level sounds based on the appropriate power level. 

    I would also have to create a sub routine that recognizes the current throttle position and relative direction.  Your going to have a hard time with it not sounding choppy. Aka. The video is most likely fake. 

    Good luck. Let me know how you do. Very interesting challenge for sure.

    Hi,

    This is not for a RC plane,

    Im 3d printing a turbojet engine model which I can keep on my desktop,

    Printing the file is easy, making a motor run the turbine with a potentiometer is also figured out,

    But it would be cool if there was background noise of the engine starting up and spooling up along with the turning turbine,

    Controlled with the same potentiometer.

    There are RC engine simulators with esp32 and Arduino, but I can't sleep to modify them for my use, plus they are a little complicated as people have integrated turn signals,headlights and stuff.

    Regards

    If all you want is the turbine spinning why not use a simple circuit with a small electric engine? You can connect the potentiometer to the power supply. I don't see the need to even use a program..
