User Manual

You may want to have the audio track match to motion or events in your robot. To do that you can do some tricks with

time.monotonic() . That's our way of know true time passage, it returns a floating point (fractional) value in seconds.

Note its hard to get the exact precise second so use > and < rather than checking for = equality because minute

variations will make it hard to get the time delta exactly when it occurs.

from busio import I2C

from adafruit_seesaw.seesaw import Seesaw

import audioio

import board

import time

# Create seesaw object

i2c = I2C(board.SCL, board.SDA)

seesaw = Seesaw(i2c)

# what counts as a 'touch'

CAPTOUCH_THRESH = 500

wavfile = "howto.wav"

f = open(wavfile, "rb")

wav = audioio.WaveFile(f)

a = audioio.AudioOut(board.A0)

a.play(wav)

t = time.monotonic() # this is the time when we started

# wait until we're at timecode 5.5 seconds into the audio

while time.monotonic() - t < 5.5:

pass

a.pause() # pause the audio

print("Waiting for Capacitive touch!")

while seesaw.touch_read(0) < CAPTOUCH_THRESH:

pass

a.resume() # resume the audio

# You can now do all sorts of stuff here while the audio plays

# such as move servos, motors, read sensors...

# Or wait for the audio to finish playing:

while a.playing:

pass

print("Done!")
