Upgraded Sound Activated Wood Shop Air Filter - Automated Air Cleaning
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 июл 2022
- We built a sound-activated device to control our Fanboy wood shop air filter, which is an air cleaner of unusual size. The original AudioBot worked well but had a few things we thought we could improve, so we built a new one. Don't worry, we used the same Arduino and it still turns the FanBoy on when it hears us using a large tool like a table saw or miter saw. It runs a timed air clean job that keeps cleaning the air hours after we leave the shop, shutting off automatically on it's own. And the new one has a LOT more LEDs!
The AudioBot II features a grounded metal case, improved code for noise detection and management, and a light sensor. If the AudioBot II hears a loud sound and the shop lights are off it does nothing, because that sound obviously wasn't a tool noise in the shop. If the shop lights are on and a loud noise is heard the AudioBot II waits to see if that noise continues for several seconds. If the noise passes all these tests the AudioBot II starts the FanBoy for a 30-minute air cleaning job and adds time if similar noised continue. When the air clean job time is reduced to zero the AudioBot II shuts off the FanBoy and all is well.
The AudioBot II provides some very useful shop automation and ensures that we run the air cleaner every time we are running the larger tools. And the ability to leave the FanBoy running after we leave the shop gives the FanBoy plenty of time to clean the air. We love this thing!

We build stuff all the time. Subscribe to see more projects!
I'm not an electronics guy but I watched the whole video! Its refreshing and funny
Glad you like our stuff!
Oh I see projects in my future. Fanboy and the awesome controller! 👍👍
Scrap booking with electronic parts is great!
Thank you for understanding that! Assembling the device is fun but the magic doesn't happen until all the parts are wired and talking to each other.
the Star Ferry sign is great
THANK YOU for recognizing the legendary Star Ferry!!! You are the first!
@@AtomicDairy because i'm from hong kong
A very nice project. Greetings from Germany.
Thank you very much!
Very cool, beyond my skills to build!
Thanks! It took me a couple of years to figure out how to set everything up, and then test my ideas, but it finally turned into a pretty useful project!
I am very impressed, as always 🙂 Thank you, greetings from South Australia.
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoy our weirdness!
Bravo, Chuck - very impressive build! Larson scanners make everything better.
I know right? Why don't people use them in projects more often? Glad you like the project. It's a real game changer in the shop!
Pretty cool addition! I built a very similar version of the fanboy for my own shop with the same motor. Biggest difference is I used 12 in ducting to move air around the corner I had to put it in. But it works great, I’m getting about 800 cfm from this motor on its highest setting according to my cheap anemometer, even with the filters and ducting. That is good for 1 air change every 5 minutes in my shop. Anyway thanks for the videos! Always cool to see these diy solutions.
Very cool, and I love the idea of ducting to force the air away from the fan. I'm sure you saw the same reduction in floating dust that we have. We love the air cleaner and this device ensures that we use it as much as we should. Glad you like our stuff!
Great video. Well edited and funny. Awesome project. Need to make one. 🤙Mahalo for sharing! 🙂
Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome build, and cool video!
I'm wondering about the countdown on the green display; it looks like it's counting down seconds but slower than 1 second pr second... Is that just an editing artifact, or is the timing off?
No, it's a serial print artifact. I have eight digits so I am counting HH:MM:SS:MS. So the last two cells should be spinning very fast showing milliseconds. However I have several serial print routines in the code to check sound and sound duration levels and for some reason those slow the clock down. When I comment those print statements out the clock runs properly but right now it's running at about half speed. Good catch seeing it!
Great idea. Impressive shop. You must be retired?
I wish! Maybe someday but I still have kids in college and whatnot. We've built the shop up over a number of years bit by bit. But glad you like it!
Wow, that is a lot of dust. Nice job!
Looks like you did away with the solid-state relay. Why was that?
Yep, the FanBoy collects a very large amount of dust for us. The solid state relay was rated for 15A and required a heat sink in a wood shop that is often pretty hot. So I switched to a 30A relay that the Arduino could switch and got both a smaller relay and zero need for a large heat sink. Simpler design in less space.
The controller turns Fanboy on based on certain parameters. What shuts it off?
Every time it hears an event while the lights are on it adds 30 minutes to the clock and then it runs until the clock runs out. It keeps running after we've left the shop for however long the clock has set, for a maximum of five hours. This allows the FanBoy to do a pretty thorough job of cleaning the shop air and the longer run times have really made a difference.
Do you sell these controllers?
Sorry, I do not.
Too bad I sure would like to make one
