Release v1.1

 

Introducing the AUUUGH Plankton: a meme-powered 3D Print that lets you unleash Plankton’s soul-crushing cry whenever you feel like it.

Have you had this Plankton meme stuck in your head rent-free for months?
Same. So, I 3D printed it. 

This is how it works. You press the button, and he lets out the exact audio your brain plays at 3AM for no reason.

 

Parts needed:

  • ESP32: The brain of the project.
  • MAX98357 I2S Amplifier: For driving the speaker with audio data from the ESP32.
  • 3W Speaker: The louder, the better. This speaker brings the scream to life.
  • USB C Female socket: For charging the battery to hear that beautiful auuugh.
  • 3.7V LiPo Battery: Powers the device, ensuring it's portable and long-lasting.
  • TP4056 Charging Module : For safely charging the LiPo battery.
  • Momentary Push Button: To trigger the “AUUUGH” scream when pressed.
  • Wires, Hot glue gun, soldering iron, etc…

                                                                                 OR

 

Features:

  • Screaming Plankton Audio: Press the button, and it plays the iconic “AUUUGH” sound, fading in smoothly for an added dramatic effect.
  • Low Power Consumption: Uses ESP32’s deep sleep mode for ultra-low power consumption. After playing the audio, the system automatically enters deep sleep to save battery, with a 15-second delay before going to sleep.
  • Button Triggered: The button is wired to trigger the sound whenever pressed. It’s simple, straightforward, and meme-worthy.
