This week we’ve been working on laying the framework for our project. To get an MVP we have a few action items:
- Get the PCB designed, ordered, and assembled
- Verify audio circuitry
- Order MIDI controller and speaker
- Create basic design on the FPGA for simple effects
- Implement MIDI decoder
We hope to finish a few of those items this week.
The PCB and verilog code are being hosted on private github repos. In the verilog repo there is a docs directory which will act as a centralized point for all of our spec files and datasheets.
Individually, here is what we worked on last week:
Roshan has been working on testing the on board SDRAM and other synthesis tasks.
Nick S. has been researching the MIDI protocol and how to implement certain effects.
Nick P. has been working on the PCB/circuit implementation for the project.
