When settling speakers in to place, you are idealizing that you will always sit dead center .. yet in our more lethargic reality, we lounge off-center. As consequence, you cease being the center of the speaker array .. until now ..


Ingredients
NodeMCU ESP8266 ESP-12E V2 (2)
Digital Potentiometer (2)
5V Power Supply (2)
4 Dip Switch (2)
4 Slot Terminals (2)

Code
https://hackaday.io/project/160842-center-surround-sound/log/152358-speaker-code-each

Notations
1. Intended to create an app with MIT App Inventor .. how-ever .. per the previous HaD FP (Voice Kitchen Faucet) .. it was decided to employ an alternative favored open source (-ish) voice command software http://voiceattack.com purely as demonstration.
2. Adding additional speakers merely requires copy-paste and if-statement modifications .. tho ideally a more advanced 'find' function upon installation would be coded.
3. Variances of % may depend on wattage (See #4)
4. Higher voltage systems would subsequently require HV digital potentiometers (AD7376)
5. Why is this .. not already a thing?!

Touching is far too forward when first getting to know your kitchen faucet.
You must first serenade it ..
.. here then is the Cyrano de Bergerac method of dish washing.


Ingredients
NodeMCU ESP8266 ESP-12E V2
(2) 9G Micro Servo
5V Power Supply

Notations
1. Limited positions to averaging hot/cold/mix in deux bcz .. less is more.
Would diversify per #3.
2. #MakeArduinoCheapAgain
3. Recommend https://github.com/netlabtoolkit/VarSpeedServo as alternative to littering annoying for-statements .. unfortunately avr/interrupt.h is not ESP8266 compatible.
4. Shameless plug for https://www.theio.nyc/
5. Will you ever learn, me?! .. Shd you believe the arms are long enough .. add more.
6. FYI .. Jacob is my personal AI. Say no to Amaoogpple!
7. Alternative suggestion for voice commands: https://voiceattack.com/

Stop eating like a neanderthal.

Notation(s)
1. Did /not/ use heating element wire bcz .. it is a plastic (PLA) prototype.
This was a hypothetical to establish concept .. for credit. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
2. Shout-out to https://www.theio.nyc/ makerspace.

Lamps, alarm clocks, pencil sharpeners .. we leave some plugs in outlets for years unnoticed and hidden by furniture .. but over time these plugs can become loose and exposed .. leading to dangerous conditions.

Plugtite is your do-it-your-self-tho-Vije-did-it-for-you 3D printed solution to secure your plugs for life .. so that your home can safely burn down around you for a cadre of other reasons.


Notation(s)
1. Shout-out to https://www.theio.nyc/
2. Use a heated soldering iron shaft or stove to soften the legs for bending.
3. Dependent on print quality .. sanding the mounting feet may be required.
4. For narcissism's sake; the quality of the opening scene is rubbish due to now redundant voluntary third-world-prison filming conditions.
