Week 7

Final Report Draft


This week, we submitted the draft of the final report. Included is an updated budget, timeline, and flowchart. We had a much better time doing this final report than we had making the week 2 final project proposal, because now we've actually had time to do the project and we know what we are doing. We made a new flowchart for our module process (Figure 1):

Jeremy's Coding Experimentation

All week, Jeremy exerted a trial-and-error method of learning how to code the Arduino to connect the MIDI device and LEDs. Once we figured out how to make them talk to each other, Jeremy fine tuned the RGB numbers input into the code so the colors shown on the LED were more distinguishable from one another.

Sonachromatic Lighting


Different from synesthesia, sonachromatism is a unnaturally simulated connection between light and sound that is determined by matching the frequencies of light to sound frequencies. It is different from synesthesia because it is aided by technology whereas synesthesia is naturally in a person's brain. Below is the table of colors, frequencies, and notes (Table 1):
Table 1: Sonochromatic Light and Sound Frequency Chart



Results

We managed to look up RGB colors on an online database according to the colors given to us in a sonochromatic light table. When programmed, each note on the keyboard (even in different octaves) corresponds to every color listed on the table in table 1.

Here is a video of Cassie playing Mary Had A Little Lamb on the keyboard:
