Program your whoopee cushion

Dibujo extraído de raspberrypi.org

Open Python 3 (IDLE) from the Programming menu and click on File and New Window. This will open a blank file.
Click on File and Save As and name the file whoopee.py
Type the following code into your file:
```
import os
import random
from time import sleep
from gpiozero import Button
```
```
 
```
This part of the code pulls in all the libraries that you are going to use to write your program.
Then, you'll need to use the Button class in your code. You'll have to tell it that the button is on pin 2. To do this, write the following code in your new file:
```
button = Button(2)
```
```
 
```
Now create a list of all your sound effects and store then inside a variable that you can call later on in your code:
```
trumps = ['ben-fart.wav', 'ca-fart.wav', 'marc-fart.wav']
```
```
 
```
In Python, square brackets are used to create a list. Each item in the list is separated by a comma.
Once all the setup needed in the code is complete, you can move on to writing the part of the program that will make something happen when the button is pressed. Begin by creating a loop using while True:.
Then, add button.wait_for_press() inside the loop by indenting by four spaces. Each time around the loop, the computer waits for the button to be pressed.
On the next line, use the random.choice function to select a sound at random from the list you created earlier. That selected sound needs to be stored inside another variable which you can call parp! Type parp = random.choice(trumps).
The next line will play the sound selected at random using aplay, which you used earlier to test your sounds. Type os.system("aplay {0}".format(parp)).
Finally, add sleep(2) to pause the program before it starts the loop again.

Your code should look like this:

while True:
    button.wait_for_press()
    parp = random.choice(trumps)
    os.system("aplay {0}".format(parp))
    sleep(2)

Save the file by clicking on File and Save.
Test that your code works by clicking on Run and Run Module. Use your hand to push the top plate of your Whoopi cushion down to make a connection between the tinfoil sheets and you should hear a fun sound. If it does not work first time, do not worry. Check your code through. Have you typed your code out exactly as you see it here?

Program your whoopee cushion(Curso)

Coding your Raspberry Pi to act as a whoopi cushion is actually much easier than the build process.
Let’s begin with simply playing the fart sound using Python. You’ll need to have some speakers or headphones plugged into your Raspberry Pi for this, as the computer has no inbuilt output devices for sound.

Test the sound

That’s the hardware complete. Now for the software! We are going to use Python. Don’t worry if you haven’t used it before: just follow the instructions and you will pick it up. You will be using the command line to enter commands. To do this you will need to open a terminal window by clicking on the terminal icon: it looks like a computer screen, and is found three icons along from the menu button on your desktop.

Connect the speaker to the Raspberry Pi using the sound jack port.
Create a new folder called whoopee by typing the following command in the terminal and pressing enter on the keyboard:
```
mkdir whoopee
```
Next, use the following command to enter the folder you have just created:
```
cd whoopee
```
We’re going to need a sample sound file for this project so we’ll use one from Sonic Pi.
Download a burp sample using the following command:
```
wget http://rpf.io/burp -O burp.wav
```
Now test that you can play the sound file using aplay by typing:
```
aplay burp.wav
```
You should hear it from the speakers or headphones connected to your Pi. If you can’t hear anything, make sure that your speakers are connected correctly. If this still doesn’t work, you’ll need to change your audio configuration.
To switch audio to the headphone jack, return to the terminal window and type the following command:
```
amixer cset numid=3 1 
```
If your Raspberry Pi is connected to the internet you could search for some suitable trumping sounds. They need to be in ‘wav’ format to work. Alternatively, you can download our example sounds here.

Write a program in Python

Open Python 3 (IDLE) from the Programming menu and click on File and New Window. This will open a blank file.
Click on File and Save As and name the file whoopee.py
Type the following code into your file:
```
import os
import random
from time import sleep
from gpiozero import Button
```
This part of the code pulls in all the libraries that you are going to use to write your program.
Then, you’ll need to use the Button class in your code. You’ll have to tell it that the button is on pin 2. To do this, write the following code in your new file:
```
button = Button(2)
```
Now create a list of all your sound effects and store then inside a variable that you can call later on in your code:
```
trumps = ['ben-fart.wav', 'ca-fart.wav', 'marc-fart.wav']
```
In Python, square brackets are used to create a list. Each item in the list is separated by a comma.
Once all the setup needed in the code is complete, you can move on to writing the part of the program that will make something happen when the button is pressed. Begin by creating a loop using while True:.
Then, add button.wait_for_press() inside the loop by indenting by four spaces. Each time around the loop, the computer waits for the button to be pressed.
On the next line, use the random.choice function to select a sound at random from the list you created earlier. That selected sound needs to be stored inside another variable which you can call parp! Type parp = random.choice(trumps).
The next line will play the sound selected at random using aplay, which you used earlier to test your sounds. Type os.system("aplay {0}".format(parp)).
Finally, add sleep(2) to pause the program before it starts the loop again.

Your code should look like this:

while True:
    button.wait_for_press()
    parp = random.choice(trumps)
    os.system("aplay {0}".format(parp))
    sleep(2)

Save the file by clicking on File and Save.
Test that your code works by clicking on Run and Run Module. Use your hand to push the top plate of your Whoopi cushion down to make a connection between the tinfoil sheets and you should hear a fun sound. If it does not work first time, do not worry. Check your code through. Have you typed your code out exactly as you see it here?

Setting it up

Carefully place your whoopee cushion in a spot where your victim will sit on it (obviously!), but not under a really heavy cushion where it will be squashed straight away.
The tricky bit is setting up the Pi so that it can’t be seen: remember, you’ll need a plug socket to connect it to power, unless you are using a battery pack.
Run the program, and wait. Here’s a hint: whistle tunelessly and look around at the ceiling. This will make you seem innocent, and will help to attract potential victims.
