Hey everyone! Super excited to share about one of the best projects I have done here at University of California, Berkeley !!! For our ME235 Embedded Systems class, my friends and I built Project 67 (yep, that's what we named our creation), a gestural music instrument that you play by waving your hands in the air. A complete standalone device in which you can do audio synthesis, mixing, and effects! You wave your hand over 8 time-of-flight sensors and it plays piano, steel drums, trumpet, or 808 bass. You can switch to a drum kit, layer loops on top of each other, twist knobs for effects like echo and filters, and watch it all come alive on a 5-inch LCD. And the best part, we did all this with just a single ESP32! This wouldn't have been possible without the absolute best (GOATed) teammates ever, Lennart Peus, Lleyton Elliott and Wayne Toh! This project pushed us through a lot and countless all-nighters of hardware integration, a lot of software debugging, wiring, wiring and more wiring! Late nights, messy breadboards, and way too many GPIO pin conflicts later, we somehow pulled off something we are all really proud of, especially when we played "Levels" by Avicii at the end of our demo! And the cherry on top: we won the Best Overall Project award for the class! Also, it was super fun to see all of you who showed up and created some banger tunes on our device. Hopefully, we can share a cool video of this beauty with you all soon! It was so much fun working on ML, robotics, and projects like this at Berkeley that I feel like there are a few more project posts to update here before I share my graduation post! Cheers till then! #UCBerkeley #UCBerkeleyMEng #EmbeddedSystems #AudioEngineering
Goated Team !!!
