1. http://yazmelodies.blogspot.com/2015/12/final-project-report-drum-glove.html Yasmin’s project was a drum glove that used a vibration sensor to trigger MIDI notes (kick, snare, and crash cymbal). She sewed the sensors to her glove and when she taps different parts of her hand, the different sounds play.
2. This guy programmed a bunch of LED Christmas lights to light up in different patterns that sync up with the carol of the bells song. Some of the patterns repeat when parts of the song repeat.
3. https://cindytb.wordpress.com/2016/05/01/the-shoe-drum-machine-digital-electronics-lab/ Cindy’s final project was a drum machine that had a kick, snare, and crash sound triggered by pressing on different parts of her shoes. She also had presets that you can choose from pushing different numbers on a pad. There were knobs to adjust the volumes of each MIDI instrument and a knob to change the tempo of the presets.
4. This guy made a gameboy using arduino and a 3D printer to make the physical controller. The joystick and the buttons control the movement of flappybird on the screen.
5. https://robnelsen.wordpress.com/2015/12/10/final-project-report-digital-electronics/ Rob’s final project was a device that could record and loop MIDI samples simply by holding down a button to record, and pushing any other button to play a sample. When you push a button, MIDI note data is sent to his computer (ableton) which is how the sounds are played.
6. https://kad483.wordpress.com/2014/12/05/final-project-report-december-12-2014/ For Kelly’s project, she made a type of synth that triggered a note when you interrupted a beam of light from an LED. She used both arduino and MAX to achieve this.
7. https://laurenschutz.wordpress.com/2015/12/11/digital-final-project-lab-report/ Lauren made drawings using conductive paint that sensed when a person was touching the drawing. It knew this by sensing a change in the level of capacitance on the paint. When a drawing was touched, a musical note and an LED were triggered.
8. I have no idea how this person did this, but they made a working cell phone using arduino and called their actual phone with it.
9. https://emmacamell.wordpress.com/ Emma built a step sequencer where the notes and their tempo are both dependent on the color presented to the sensor.
10. This project also seems pretty complicated. It’s an iPhone charger that also turns on a light bulb when your phone is successfully charging. He built it using an iron pipe for the phone dock, metal casing for the wires and circuitry, a wooden platform for the metal box, and 2 light bulbs (one for the other charging port on the dock).
