FIRST MIDTERM STEP
I got the Arduino to play a melody. And the potentiometer to change the volume, although this var. resistor is too weak, it gave me an idea. Now we can experiment with other variable resistors and sensors!!!! After our group meeting today, we decided we are going to look at traditional and non-traditional musical instruments. We are going to watch people play. WE are going to play. And we are going to look at cool sensors we might want to work with. Dream House trip postponed till thursday after class. Our observation will be mostly about musical instruments and how the performer interacts with them. Then we'll see what happens when the musical instrument is the environment and the viewer, like in the Dream House. It's little, but it's PROGRESS.
