Musical Light-Rachel Li-Margaret Minsky
Partner: Nicole (I’ve been thinking about what I should come up with this midterm project since Thursday and many ideas occurred to me that night. So I shared the ideas and the past versions of ideas with Nicole and we then agreed that the last version is an interesting one and we then decided to go on further with this “Musical Light” idea after we discussed it with Professor Minsky and got approval.)

Project Explanation:
Users click the start button on Arduino and the mp3 will start playing a short piece of music, and they can then hit the cardboard-made drum, with a force sensor beneath, with a pair of drumsticks. When the music ends, the recording stops and the light starts to playback that beat created by the user, with an amazing light effect and the retro click-clack sound. I had this idea of using that click-clack sound as a beat when Professor Misky showed us the fascinating relay effect the light had on class, which is similar to the video link below.
