Control your computer through python based pitch detection

PytchControl

Control your computer through python based pitch detection

Explanation

PytchControl allows you to use changes in pitch to control your computer.
When a series of pitches are detected the change between each pitch is recorded and these changes form a command.
The three types of changes are:

• n - pitch stays the same (within TOLERANCE)
• u - pitch increases
• d - pitch decreases

When a command is issued a .bat file will run and an action will occur.

For example:

If PytchControl detects three tones of increasing pitch it will create the command 'uu'
'uu' is a default command and will run 'web.bat' which opens this github repo.

Quickstart guide

1. Ensure you have python 2 installed with numpy and pyaudio
2. Clone the repository
3. Run pytchcontrol.py
4. Whistle three tones of increasing pitch
5. Success! Hopefully at this point this repo will open up in your web browser

Custom Commands

To make a custom command follow the steps below:

• Write a .bat file for your command
  Place the finished .bat file in the same directory as pythcontrol.
  If you are uncertain how to begin look at the web.bat or notepad.bat provided in the repo.
• Add your command to pythcontrol.py
  Open pythcontrol.py and find the following code:

commands = {'uu':'web.bat','dd':'notepad.bat','nn':'','nu':'','nd':'','un':'','ud':'','dn':'','du':''}  

Enter the file name of your .bat file next to a command of your choice.
Ex: If you want your .bat file to run after whistling three similar pitches change 'nn':'' to 'nn':'yourFile.bat'

• You are finished! Whistle the command you chose in the step above and your .bat file will run
