Musical Exercise: Workout Shirt MP3 Player Powered by Exercise using Arduino

People love listening to music while exercising. Music provides the motivation needed for individuals to keep exerting energy and get in shape. So, because people enjoy listening to music while exercising, what if an MP3 player only played an individual’s music while they are active? Using music as an incentive to continue exercising would encourage

Turn your Arduino Uno into an USB-HID-Mididevice

Interfacing(USB – RS232 – I2c -ISP) Projects, Sound – Audio Projects / By Ibrar Ayyub

While building an Arduino Uno based Midi-Controller for Ableton Live, I came across the HIDUINO project ( http://code.google.com/p/hiduino/ ). It allows you to turn your Arduino Uno (or any other device using an AVR-USB chipset like the 8u2) into a driverless HID/Midi device. It’s much more comfortable than using a software based serial to midi

Arduino Step Sequencer Drum Machine

Sound – Audio Projects / By Ibrar Ayyub

Overview As enthusiasts of audio, we aimed to use our recent understanding of microcontrollers to create an exciting consumer gadget. Our project is a drum machine that functions as a step sequencer. The user can create a 16-step percussion sequence with various percussion instruments on six separate tracks. The user switches between various music tracks

Soundgraffiti with arduino mega

Sound – Audio Projects / By Ibrar Ayyub

So we haven been working on the new soundgraffiti board. This is an installation wich creates sounds using sprayed water. The connection is made with water. We used copper plates as our sensor. the plates had a cutout line in the middle of 0,1 mm. Once water hit this line it would connect both sides

Convert a toy piano to work as a midi device and use it with Synthesia

Interfacing(USB – RS232 – I2c -ISP) Projects, Sound – Audio Projects / By Ibrar Ayyub

Goal of this project: Convert a cheap toy piano to work as a midi device and use it with Synthesia (http://www.synthesiagame.com/) Other programs that use midi inputs can also be used. Approach: The pushbuttons of the piano are used to make a simple pull-down circuit for the arduino mega. The arduino interprets the keystrokes and

A Facebook-Connected, Arduino-Powered Music Party

Internet – Ethernet – LAN Projects, Sound – Audio Projects / By Ibrar Ayyub

Music party is a new way to listen to music with others. By tapping an RFID/NFC device that is synced to a Facebook account on an Arduino RFID reader shield and sending that unique ID to Music Party server using the Arduino WiFly shield, we can automatically listen to the favorite music of everyone who
