Jeannie’s Status Report for 9/30

At the start of this week I placed an order for the two thin film pressure sensors we hope to use for our key press detection. This week I also created the schematic for the sensor data collection board in Altium and researched appropriate components for the PCB, including ADC IC’s, switches, buttons, etc. I imported the parts into the schematic and started putting together the power, I2C, and sensor schematics. I also hope to add a microphone to record the music being played so that Max can take the output and perform some signal processing for his portion of the project. Over the course of the next week I will finish the schematics, finish the layout, ask Vikram to review the board before sending it out for fabrication. Overall, I am still on track.

Our music transcriber is designed to dynamically transcribe sheet music from a piano keyboard. When a player initiates a recording session and plays a sequence of notes, they can trust that the music transcriber will accurately capture the notes as they are played, resulting in a well-written piece of sheet music. Sensors on the keys will detect the notes being played, feed the data into a computing device that will process the data, and display the sheet music on a monitor that the player can view in real time and save for later. This innovative tool not only simplifies the process of converting piano performances into sheet music but also enhances the creative potential of musicians by allowing them to focus on their artistry while the transcriber handles the notation.
