Euphony

Its been a while since I've posted on this bloody blog, but things have been abit hectic recently at uni, with two final major projects to address and other bits and bobs to do.

Well, my collaborative final major project has been a real headache so far. The plan is to make a music sequencer table, were multiple users can play and interact to create musical outcomes by pressing tactile buttons. Building the table itself was quite straight forward, with only a few steps. Cutting out an MDF circle being the first, then drilling it with a series of 128 holes, and finally placing 64 tr-colour LED'S and 64 buttons through the holes.

Today however myself and Dan (my team mate), started wiring the buttons into a circuit board we had made late last week. This proved very time consuming, and i referred to it being like having a really bad knot in your shoe laces when you were younger, and having no idea how to untie it.

Having 32 wires all jumbled and knotted was quite stressful at times, and having to then find particular wires to solder onto the circuit board made the day even more fun. Unfortunately we weren't even able to determine if the whole thing will work yet, so yet more fun and enjoyment to look forward too.



A log of the project so far can been found on our project blog as it happens. http://euphonyproject.wordpress.com/
