request for squeeling counter demo!

[colin9876]

My development system is down, can anyone do me a mega favour and code and compile for device a basic utility for me if they have time today??

As proof of concept I need to show someone on thursday that we could develop a radiological counter on a ppc.

All I need is a utility that shows a number varying from 0 to 10000 and making a high pitched squeel ranging from a medium squeel at 0 to a high pitch squeel at 10000

The demo could be controlled by say how far the mouse stylus was touched up the screen?, but the proper thing would use a bluetooth gamma probe

very grateful if anyone can help - the sound is the tricky bit for me!

Hard to accomplish in such a short notice...
but this community is known for doing very hard things in very short time...I'll give it a try and let you know what I came up with...

I'll cut u in on the fortune if I make one! These Radiological detecters cost $1000s but I want to convince my boss to invest in a bluetooth probe and then code the thing on a pda. The one we have is very unportable - 2kg box with LED digital counter and speaker which makes a variably high pitched noise! If I can show them a squeeling pda they will be convinced!!

The next step will be to work out how to decode bluetooth data!!

If u could use this pic of our bulky detector as the backdrop and have the numbers somewhere in the black display box that would be so cool

The complicated thing is, thereis no direct support in .NET to the Sound(frequency, duration) command...
I'll do some more search...
Still an audio amplifier may be needed to make the pitch audible im a life like situation...

.. even my old spectrum had a beep command! lol!

I have a HTC touch its quite loud actualy and its for use indoors so should be ok on volume if u can get it to make a beep somehow! Thanks

Producing sound is not a problem, as long as it cames in the form of a file...
It is possible to play a few diferent sound formats, including WAV and MP# files...
But it is not possible to produce sound directly by code, as in the "old spectrum"!

[colin9876]

So would a program have to cycle through different pitched pre=recorded squeels? Is there any chance u could have a go at it or is too big a task?

[Cableguy]

The biggest issue for me would be to get the sound files, if you provide them, in what ever formar, I'll give it a go...
The duration of each file should not be more that 500ms and more than 500hz apart, in order to have a good smooth effect
