Woohoo! I got the sensor up and running, and it took a whole lot of troubleshooting.
A Mac is never the right way to go for Arduino, so I ended up switching to Windows and the serial plotter finally displayed current incoming sensor values
Although I still have some soldering to do, I’m glad the graph is changing based on the sounds I create around it. It doesn’t seem very accurate yet, but I’ll work on using this data in TensorFlow and then decide later if the sensor is the right fit.
I am also working on using Helium to create a live dashboard for this data, and that way I can attach webhooks to react differently or notify the user based on what incoming values are.
Things are progressing nicely!
