John’s Status Report for 9/24

This week I helped prepare our proposal presentation and presented it to the class. Reading up on the feedback really helped realign some of our team design goals and put our project into perspective. I have begun formulating ideas for our piano playing interface proof of concept. To do this, I went to the music technologies classroom in the basement of HOA and took many measurements of the piano we will building our system based off of. These gave us some insight in the overall size of our build. I have also begun planning how  the website to host UI controls for our project. This has involved prioritizing base playback (pause/play) features and organizing our gantt chart to reflect our priorities. Luckily we are on schedule as it’s early on and this next week I hope to finalize our proof of concept circuit design, order some physical interface parts, and begin the website.
