Progress
This week as a team we worked on integrating all of our different pieces together to make a full pipeline from the keyboard being pressed until sound is produced. We managed to make two ends work, but as of today are still working on finalizing the last pieces of combining the DAC/Analog and the MIDI/keyboard. As we work for the next day-ish before our midterm demo, we intend to complete the pipeline so that we will at least hear some type of sound at the end of the day tomorrow.
One of the big issues that we are uncertain about is that we may need a digital low pass filter before we send our signal to the DAC to remove higher frequencies from our signal that we do not want to hear. This is currently the biggest risk that we foresee in our near future.
Scheduling
We are currently effectively on schedule, since we have managed to nearly finish integration for our project and once we have a single note that can be played through the pipeline, we should be able to play any given note that we want. This removes a couple weeks at the end of our schedule for integration and gives them to us now, which is why we are effectively on schedule at this point in the semester.
