Finalized Concept
My concept will still follow the opera idea I initially had with a few tweaks. The user will be a composer trying to compose the music needed, if the user composes the wrong pitch, an LED would flicker and the buzzer would make a sound.
I originally had the idea of having the composer’s batons but then I realized that would be extremely difficult to map out for me, so I decided to settle with one glove. the user would move the glove and thats how the music is composed
Arduino:
I will be mapping the glove’s x and y positions for octave and note, and p5 will receive this data from an accelerometer and translate it to audible music.
p5
p5 will be used to run the UI and will send information to the arduino on whether the right note is being played which will then cause the LED light to flicker, I was also thinking of adding ballet dancers in there which will fall from their dance if the music is composed incorrectly.
STIPEND USAGE:
I will be using the stipend to buy this MPU6050 accelerator from amazon
I also consulted ChatGPT to assess the difficulty of building my project, and it told me its possible but will be a bit tricky. I’ve also used a previous student’s model to understand how to use the accelerometer and map it to my p5. (Shota Matsumoto)
