Electronic – arduino – How to read data from a 3.5mm headphone jack

analogarduinoaudio

I was searching for a way to read data from a 3.5mm hack using an Arduino, but I couldn't find a well-detailed, beginner-friendly, tutorial on how to make this, at least how to wire everything and create a simple I/O code. Anyone know a good, beginner-friendly, tutorial about this topic?

PS: I don't want to use a modem like this, I to learn and make it not communicate only with iOS/Android devices.

Analyzing audio with a Arduino isn't very simple for someone that just wants to get data from a TI-84, and other devices, via a 3.5mm jack.

If you just want to communicate with a device like a TI-84 that uses a 3.5mm jack as just a connector for some type of serial interface, this shouldn't be too hard (although most of the helpful links online are dead.)

I don't know much about the TI-84 protocol, but since you wanted a basic tutorial, I'm guessing you may need some help with Arduino serial communication. Arduino Serial is a great place to start, and LadyAda has a good serial introduction.

Here is an image that shows you to make the connection, (I'm not sure if any level converters are needed, but you can read the link below.)

I think the board you quoted is basically a level converter, converting 3.3volt signal to 5volt arduino, and vice versa. Also it said it was a 4 conductor cable so it is different than the TI-84 cable, I believe the TI's is only a 3 conductor.
