Final Project – Piano Player
Processing was used to see the motions as the piano is played. Since it is the holiday season, I chose a Christmas carol, Jingle Bell, for the song. Using Jingle Bell’s music note, press the right note on the piano and a motion is played telling a story. The motion does not play if you press the wrong note.
I made a piano player using processing and iPhone, something that is friendly and easy to play. I chose iPhone so that people can play by tapping on the screen rather than clicking a mouse and a keyboard.
When I used openFrameworks, it was different from Processing because openFrameWorks is similar to c++ and is divided into draw, update and setup, whereas Processing is closer to Java and uses draw and setup. Because the language used in openFrameworks was different, there were many errors at first. I had to find everything which took me a long time but overall it was a good experience.
I made an animal using Arduino and Arduino Uno for the first time. When I got the assignment, I had no idea what to make. But after seeing other classmates’ posts, I figured it out and made a crocodile. Actually, I saw crocodile character on the webpage so I used this character on my project. I used 12 LED (3 red and 9 green) and I tried to connect ground, 9, 11 and 12. For next time, I would like to make one using a speaker.

I’m excited to make a something with LED but I’m still confused about it.
I didn’t know where to put the wires correctly that I burnt two of the bulbs.
Also, I don’t know if my calculations for voltage, resistance, and current is right.
for last week, my assignment3(music player) was did’t work correctly and Liza told me to finish it for assignment4 (using one library and class).
I’m using a minim and 2 classes to make music player!! Here is the link to the code on github.

I made a music player. First, I made three sections which are: Main (setup page), Artist (picked artist) and Music (picked music). Then I used two classes and an array. In the Main page, there are three songs listed. When you select a song, it takes you to a page with the Artist and Music. On that page, you can control the buttons to play and pause the song. Playlists button that can take you back to the Main page is located on top of the page. For this project, it took me a long time to come up with an idea of what I can create using two classes and one array. Once I practice processing and work more with it, I will be able to create more advanced player with multiple playlists and songs (at least more than three songs.)
