Friday Post 4

Today was a groundbreaking day for Trombone Hero. I officially have the trombone working! Using a test run, the trombone performed accurately and fluidly. I wanted to implement a mic to record breath sounds so that you would "blow" into the trombone, but I was having difficulty, so went back to the original plan of adding a button. Today I recorded the backing tracks for the trombone sounds to "Love Me Do".

Next time, I have to work out some potential timing issues with the projector screen and get the music mixed and implemented. After next week, I should be ready for presentation.

Today was a good day.

Friday Post 3

Today I finished up some loose ends on the coding, like getting the blobs to time right, and display different images on successful play or failure to hit a note. I decided to eliminate the average score and average accuracy values from the profile, since I didn't really think it was necessary to do.

On Monday I'm going to work on the controller. I'll be using a brush like metal conductor to get a better connection. I'll also be getting some help with the soldering. This weekend I'll have to get out and get a dremmel tool and some sheet metal.

I didn't follow the normal format because I'm a rebel yo.
