A continuation of exploring possibilities for bending the original logic of an electronic-based toy.
*Original logic-board removed
A shot of the extension wires I soldered into place to take control of the sensors and outputs of the toy, keeping original color and polarity.
Soldering extension wires to the speaker proved a greater task than the other four, simply because of the low quality of the wafer attached to the base of the speaker which would flake and adhere to the solder, providing for a challenging joint.
Heat shrink was used to group wires, making it easier to visually follow their paths of execution to product (color) without opening the toy, hopefully simplifying process and cutting down on time spent troubleshooting.
A demonstration of direct control over the motor function of the toy--pressing the switch on the breadboard would supply 5V and cause the wheels to spin on command.
In a separate demonstration, the existing program (compiled over the weekend) would provide a range of incremental sound frequencies when the microcontroller was interfaced with the speaker.
