*Note: Openlab would not allow me to upload the code to any post because of “security reasons,” so I have pasted the full thing here. PITCHES LIBRARY: /************************************************* * Public Constants *************************************************/ #define NOTE_B0  31 #define NOTE_C1  33 #define NOTE_CS1 … Continue reading →

The ultimate goal of this project was to create an Arduino-based interface that would allow a user wearing an Emotiv headset to simply think of a note and have that note reproduced by a speaker. We accomplished this much, but … Continue reading →

It seems that our biggest problem with this project will not be figuring out how to achieve what we want, but getting the technology to work for us. Last week we had problems with the computer, which was at first … Continue reading →

One of the hardest things to do if you’re born pretty much tone-deaf (like I was) is ear-training, or learning how to identify notes and intervals just by hearing them. For my project, I want to create an Arduino that … Continue reading →

The problem my Arduino project would try to solve would be applicable mostly to songwriters. I want to create an Arduino that would take in someone’s vocals and give an output of what the actual notes they’re singing are. For … Continue reading →

Unfortunately, due to the Haunted Hotel, I was not able to go Christopher Stapleton’s talk. The things I found on the internet, however, were very interesting, and I wish that I could have heard him speak. The diversity in his … Continue reading →

Since the TinkerKit doesn’t have any special modules directly related to music/sound, I decided to check out the project page to see if anyone had modified theirs to make and/or receive noises. There were a couple of interesting projects on … Continue reading →

I was unfortunately unable to go to Maker Faire, but I did catch a bit of it online. Despite it having absolutely nothing to do with my project idea, I found the live-size Mousetrap game the most interesting. At first … Continue reading →

I chose to look at Joy Mountford’s interview, because she seems to have one of the more interesting and varied backgrounds. She started her training at a company called Honeywell, which did a lot of work for the military. Her … Continue reading →

I looked up a general tutorial on making music with Arduino, and found this very helpful link. People have been making all kinds of things to playback/create music, such as the drum machines and synthesizers on that page and the … Continue reading →
