| description | Sonification is the use of voiceless audio to convey information and can be used to support inclusiveastronomy, in particular to develop initiatives to get closer to the wonders of the universe and createaccessible content for visually impaired audiences. In this work we present the design and implementationof a device to soundly reproduce the brightness of stars, converting light into audible sounds. The deviceconsists of a light sensor, a 16-bit digital analog converter, and an arduino. The sensor can be installed in theeyepiece of a telescope to acquire the light data, thus obtaining a sound as output, with different frequenciesdepending on the apparent magnitude of the star that the instrument looks at. |

La sonificación es el uso de audio sin voz para transmitir información y puede emplearse para apoyar laastronomía inclusiva, en particular en el desarrollo de iniciativas para acercarse a las maravillas del universoy crear contenidos accesibles para audiencias con discapacidad visual. En este trabajo presentamos el diseñoe implementación de un dispositivo para reproducir de forma sonora el brillo de las estrellas, convirtiendola luz en sonidos audibles. El dispositivo consta de un sensor de luz, un convertidor analógico digital de16 bits y arduino. El sensor se puede instalar en el ocular de un telescopio para adquirir los datos de luz,obteniendo así un sonido como salida, con diferentes frecuencias dependiendo de la magnitud aparente de laestrella observada por el instrumento.
