3:44 Regarding the battery life, most commercial products are not actually looping code at all times to save battery life. Normal embedded firmware will put the microcontroller in some sleep mode (usually called DPSLP on most arm based MCUs) to draw less power, then have some interrupt to wake the part to do whatever it needs to do before going back to sleep. In your case, you would want a GPIO interrupt for your trigger mechanism. The interrupt handler should play your audio then go back into sleep. Standard DPSLP in most MCUs should only be drawing 10s of microamps instead of a normal few milliamps.
The reason why these novelty sound circuits sound the way they do with low batteries is because of the much simpler chip inside. Yours is a whole ass microcontroller so the moment something goes wrong and it usually just resets
The difference is also in the oscillator circuit. The pi uses a crystal oscillator while the cheap sound chips use a (onchip) Resistor-capacitor oscillator and those easily get influenced by voltage
The true true true reason why these cheap sound devices sound like that is because the crystal oscillator which produces the clock speed signal for the chip is driven directly from the battery, no voltage regulation inbetween. The lower the voltage, the slower the clock and because of that these things play sounds slower and thus at a lower frequency. Proper microcontrollers have a voltage regulator to make sure the clock speed is correct (and also so the rest of the thing works well)
many modern microcontrollers actually come equipped with features like brownout detection that help them cope with voltage drops. so instead of immediately resetting when the voltage gets low, they try to maintain their operation for a bit longer or gracefully shut down. It actually really depends on the design and configuration of the specific microcontroller you're working with.
@@YTKeepsDeletingAllMyComments Or constantly hitting it with a crowbar Edit: this guy commented (from what I remember) how he would use different tools in the game but forgot to mention the crowbar
12:00 if you wanted to fix the sound you have to modify the audio to fit the frequency ranges of the speaker, and remove any high frequencies outside of those ranges.
remove any *low* frequencies outside of that range. cheap little speaker will happily play frequencies up into ultrasound, but cannot handle anything less than about 250 Hz.
13:40 voltage is regulated so you won't get much effect. Its not as cheap as the cheap toys that have no voltage regulation or brownout (pi pico will refuse to boot if you don't supply enough voltage)

The front facing speaker from an iPhone would be about the same size or slightly smaller, is designed to be quite loud, and sounds pretty decent. Something to keep in mind for future shenanigans! I believe all of them since the iPhone 7 are capable of being full volume speakers.
7:22 that's basically a microphone to trigger the device when you draw air from it. 7:41 the borked wire in the middle. that's the heating coil that's kinda uncoiled when you pulled the liquidy part. well, looks like you found that out. 8:05 i collect batteries(and usbc ports and charging ics) from these, this one is kind of on the larger side. Most has about 1/3 of the size of that board. I guess it's larger because of the button and the layout 8:17 it really should not swim inside the stuff. but the "stuff" is not a good conductor of electricity (it should not have water in it). These devices run at about 5W to 10W, with a 3.7V battery. So mostly capable of upwards of 1.5amps (albeit in short 2-3 second bursts). Should be plenty for pico. And the board inside the device probably has protection stuff in to cut power off to stop the battery from going all hissy.
The kinda microcontrollers used on those things have that weird behaviour because they're even simpler and don't have any kind of constant power draw, so you don't get the circuit bendy, lax rubber band effect that you get when the power is low.
I work with those for industrial applications from time to time. I kinda thought most microcontrollers had at least one function that allowed for program holds, specifically for reducing power draw.
I always thought those greetings card chips sounded coolest when they were juuuust starting to get a meaningful voltage sag but not yet totally reduced to clicks.
they glitch because they use a built in clock generator that doesn't use crystal oscillators so it relies on a stable voltage to generate the correct clock speed. of course they don't have any kind of brownout protection like more advanced microcontrollers. fun fact: inside those chips there IS a microcontroller, but everything except the things used for sound playback have been disabled in the die and the code is stored in a WORM (write once read multiple) + they have a little opamp stage inside to power the speaker.
You could make controller go to sleep mode and use contacts in bottle opener as a reset switch, then at start of the program pick random sound, play it and go to sleep mode again
This is the correct approach for battery life. You don't actually even need a reset for this. You could just make a GPIO interrupt for when the contacts bridge then have your interrupt handler play the random audio then go back to sleep.
@@themetal2244 well if you wanted battery life you would run away from python, other scripted languages, and something as complex as the PI like the plague, but as a one-off gag it's fine
He doesn't seem so much of a embedded programmer if he doesn't know sleep modes exist nor an electronics engineer if he can't just use an off the shelf Li-ion charger. But a decent tinkerer/youtuber anyway.
Suggestion: Use one (1) additional PNP transistor to cut standby power to almost nothing. Emitter -> Battery + Collector -> MCU V_in Base -> one side of resistor the other side gets connected to a pin on the MCU, aswell as one half of the bottle cap detector other half of the bottle cap detector to ground once a cap bridges the gap, the base will be pulled to 0v and power to the mcu can flow. The mcu then pulls down the pin immediately to keep the circuit enabled. Once the sound is done, it releases the pin, turning itself off you might need to add an NPN transistor like this, because the mcu has diodes to 0v and Vin and might try powering itself via the base pin: NPN Emitter -> GND NPN Collector -> PNP Base via the resistor NPN base -> mcu pin via another resistor 4 components to make it last almost forever
the esp-01 is a way more suitable microcontroller since it has a deepsleep mode that you can use the two plates to wake up with. you also would want to add a filter capacitor to the speaker
The pico can deep sleep and disable its osscilator, being woken up by reset. The esp isnt better here, especially with the picos underclock capability, it would draw less power playing aswell.
@@katerinachuranova8435 yes, it should be. It is a bit wonky in its implementation right now tho, and its GPIO pads are kind of broken and get stuck in a floating voltage. One can work around it, but its something to keep in mind.

It can swim around in the juice theoretically. If the juice had a significant conductivity a lot of coil/atomizers would just short out. I'd probably remove the battery to clean the circuit with alcohol still.
I sweep a parkinglot for a living which is more lucrative than one would imagine. I used to collect and open them for the batteries. I now have about a hundred batteries floating around to test stuff with. More usb micro snd C connectors than I will ever need and a trash bin halfway full of vape ca r ridges waiting to be recycled.
The bottle opener could really use a "open4.wav only" mode. Still, this is great. Now all you have to do is make a HL-themed Happy Meal that this would come in. I'd come to your restaurant.
I assume the vape juice fills the interior compartment of the vape to counter pressure. So you can vape as your home made carbon fiber submersible collapses around you, presumably.
For a single Li-Po pack, look up a TP4056 module. Generally has a USB-C input and you just solder on the battery to the positive and negative terminals.
Ctrl+F interrupt: 0 results. So I am saying it. @3:49 if you don't want to loop a program to wait just use interrupts and deep sleep. If your µc can't do both, use a better one. People do run µcs off 3v batteries. And considering the length of the file, my napkin math gives a couple hundred activations. @6:00 don't float your inputs.
it's a miracle that embedded hardware is so accesible today, but very sad that the principles and best practices are not being taught to the hobbyists. almost nobody who tinkers with Arduino or RPi on the internet ever talks about or uses interrupts. it's criminal how many arduino tutorials just run an endless loop to check the inputs from buttons and sensors instead of using interrupts.
I think if you turn down the volume on the bottle opener you'll not only get better life expectancy out of your ear drums but the speaker as well. That speaker is gonna blow going full tilt like that
Microsoft made Windows worse, they don’t deserve your money, so… Go ahead and use it to activate the LTSC release with it, if you can’t switch to Linux because of some picky work apps that don’t work in Wine.
the tiny microcontroller boards are very powerful, you can literally put in a seeed studio esp32 in it and get WiFi in the bottle opener if you want to (or need to because why would someone...)

I think if you turn down the volume on the bottle opener you'll not only get better life expectancy out of your ear drums but the speaker as well. That speaker is gonna blow going full tilt like that
I just bringused all over the place
1:31wait... is that-- _is_ that Mike Shapiro?
I know how it is with cats, i have 2 of them and they sit on my homework
You have made our lives 10x better.
9:14 IS THAT OPTICAL MEDIA
i love half life memes and who's better than you in making things in valve games become real
"Man, if we make it out of here alive I'm gonna buy you all a round of beers."
Needs a 1/1000 chance to play that "You fucked up my face" line
For the Pico, you might wanna set "GPIO Drive Strength"
11:28 best voiceline in all media ever
Chilling with my Half-life drink
0:39 try not to kms challenge (impossible)
@S.A.F.I.vs3r Or the “try not to play Russian Roulette with my father challenge (GONE WRONG)” challenge.
go ahead, why not?
Microsoft made Windows worse, they don’t deserve your money, so… Go ahead and use it to activate the LTSC release with it, if you can’t switch to Linux because of some picky work apps that don’t work in Wine.

the tiny microcontroller boards are very powerful, you can literally put in a seeed studio esp32 in it and get WiFi in the bottle opener if you want to (or need to because why would someone...)
Just needs a smartphone app to pair to, and frequent and oversized firmware updates
Wifi for changing audio files, randomness, and patterns.
Finally, WiFi enabled HL2 bottle opener
8:22 “the pearl from inside our mango oyster” poetry.
those high pitched noises at around 14:00 straight up sound like the hl2 beta city scanner sounds
you my friend are the best youtube persona i ever encounter!!!! LOVE YOUR WORK
i would absolutely adore if someone produced some of these novelty items but modernized
when OG Half Life players are now dad-aged...
1:11 could’ve been so funny if it didn’t say the punchline
major props for the robotnik's mean bean machine soundtrack
How amazingly quick this goes from simple and quick gag gift to overengineered term project
it's incredible how small have computers become with the passing of time. That single micro raspberry would've been able to control the whole Apollo lunar module with computing power to spare. Everything in the form factor of a moderately sized coin
I would love to see more Jon bringus videos like this where they’re just misc projects you’re doing, really enjoyed it!
3:08 As a fellow cat owner, this is too real lol (edit also 3:37 😂)
came for the shitpost stayed for the cat
As to why he's always laughing at the end of each dad joke. It's obligatory!
As a dad telling dad jokes, one must always laugh at one's own dad-jokes. Otherwise, they're not real dad jokes.
THEY DELETED THE HALF LIFE BOTTLE OPENER VIDEO FOR "SPAM AND SCAM"
1:56 root beer? ROOT BEAR, YEAH
ROOT BEER, NO ROOT BEER
root 🐻
ROOT BÆR
ROOT BEARRR
Roo'beir
so happy to have discovered the 2nd channel
At 9:00 I respond with this: the circuit is pretty strait forward, you don't need to explain much.
3:59 Tony please 😂
6:14 god dammit Tony 😂
0:48 that was such a villain laugh
Great Job Jon! This is so silly and brilliant at the same time. You just have to love it!
I don't know what year my brain is mentally in but I was fully expecting you to desolder some ROM chip and reprogram it
Of course it would be a microcontroller
Just to be that guy: The Half-Life logo is called a "Lambda", it's a Greek letter.
It's used for equations involving the *half-life* of radioactive materials.
"My god, what are you doing?"
Ahh... finally my son can open my beer with half life sounds
I thought that every Half-Life or Portal fan gone help 😔
11:30 this pissed me off so much before that I broke his monitors (and Got a badge lol)
I just can’t imagine if you made the Booba Beer Opener real too
That audio has CRUNCH
Appreciate you playing it on low voltage for the truly authentic experience. Actual 10/10 video right here
