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

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 used to 4, so I'm jealous as well.

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. :)
