Oct 30-Final Project

This week we were assigned to begin thinking about our final project and post a proposal. After much thought and discussion, my partner and I decided that we are going to make an interactive drum set. We will feed data from the drums via pressure sensors to our Arduino, and then use Processing to make the display. The idea is that depending on how hard and fast the drummer is hitting the pressure sensors, different colors and strokes will be displayed on the Processing canvas. This will be done by collecting the feedback from the pressure sensors and assigning them RGB values. It will also use some form of judgment in where the user is hitting to determine whether it should be creating a line or a circle. There will also be feedback for the user in the form of sound. This idea would utilize most of the things we have learned this semester and should yield a fun, interactive project.
