Sensorical

Inspiration:

We all love music, but we are not competent enough to produce music using physical instruments. This is why we created an interface that can translate body movement into music.

What it does

Our Sensorical uses many different kinds of sensors to detect body movements and convert them to musical chords.

How we built it

We first tested all the sensors to gain a better understanding of how they work. Then, we assigned a role to each sensor.

Challenges we ran into

Initially, we were planning to mount an Arduino board on the back of a performer and communicate with it using an Arduino Bluetooth module. However, we could not figure out how to use the Bluetooth modules. We ended up wiring the Arduino board to send the signals.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We made a working device from the tools that were provided despite the time limit.

What we learned

Interfacing with the Bluetooth module is hard but we familiarized ourselves with various kinds of Arduino modules. We gained hands-on experience in circuitry, sensors, and EMG.
