How do I debug my hubby?
-
Meh, I'm irked because I'm in the middle of a project, right on the cusp of making it do something fantastic and I can't work on my code because my code is very ... loud, and hubby is sleeping. He can sleep for 12 hours at a stretch. My loud code does not want to wait. My little 8 bit speaker is eager to sound like a metal garbage can being dragged down a gravel road. For some reason he gets mad when that wakes him up. I don't understand it. :rolleyes:

I doubt that you'll find many people here that know anything about debugging people. :-\ More to the point, can't you connect the speaker output to an oscilloscope, and see whether the output appears to be OK (turns on when expected, etc.)?

I can't really do that because it would be too hard to compare the downsampled and 2-channel down to 1-channel mix waveform with the original. Even if I preconverted the wav, it would go by too fast for me to do a real comparison, and to record it all and go over it would be laborious as heck.

I'm jealous, I'm lucky with 2 hours at a stretch. :(

The speaker is unamped so it probably wouldn't drive any kind of headphone - maybe one of those old in-ear monophonic pillow speakers or something but I don't even know where to find those now.

Replace the speaker with an LED, then it'll just blink. Manager: It _shouldn't_ be difficult, right? :rolleyes:
Yeah, but I need to make sure it's reproducing the original sound, however badly. A little difficult to do by pulsing an LED. =)

I wonder if Audacity [^] would be helpful?

Sorry not a clue other than breaking into the Fire thingamajig box and bypass the speaker but of course you already know that.

Drop the noisy hardware: Remove the speaker, let an ES32 capture the audio signal and stream it to shazam. They'll let you know if it is any good. :)
Luc Pattyn [My Articles] The Windows 11 "taskbar" is a disgrace. It should be at the left of the screen, with real icons, with text, with progress, etc. So I declined the "upgrade" to Abomination 11. I can only hope they will continue to honor my choice...

12 hours of sleep reminds me of something that happened a few years back. I have sleep apnea and use a cpap machine to help me sleep. It records some info about how I’m sleeping onto an SD card that I take to the doctor and her staff would import the data into their computer. So I met with her and she said that it was showing that I was sleeping 12 hours per night. I said “no way”. I have never slept anywhere near 12 hours. She said “computers don’t lie.” She started to step to get one of her staff and I happened to look at the screen and saw that she had pulled up someone else’s record so I stopped her before she got out of examination room and could make too big of a fool of herself.
