Project Title
Electronic Piano with Motion Controlled LED Keys
Abstract
The purpose of this project is to design a motion controlled electronic piano powered by an SJ-One Board. The piano will be able to play the notes of a piano using motion sensors as keys. At activation, LEDs will light up the key. The physical size of the piano will cover a single octave; however, the board will provide, the player, control to change the scope of the notes across other octaves.

Schedule
Show a simple table or figures that show your scheduled as planned before you started working on the project. Then in another table column, write down the actual schedule so that readers can see the planned vs. actual goals. The point of the schedule is for readers to assess how to pace themselves if they are doing a similar project.

Design & Implementation
The design section can go over your hardware and software design. Organize this section using sub-sections that go over your design and implementation.
Hardware Design
Discuss your hardware design here. Show detailed schematics, and the interface here.
Hardware Interface
SPI was used used to communicate with the ADC devices, the MIDI decoder, and the LED driver. Essentially, the SPI driver used the following setting: MSB first, 8-bit data frame, and 500 KHz clock. Meanwhile, GPIO was used as control signals, such as chip select and output enable, for the MIDI decoder and the LED driver.
In this section, you can describe how your hardware communicates, such as which BUSes used. You can discuss your driver implementation here, such that the Software Design section is isolated to talk about high level workings rather than inner working of your project.
Software Design
Show your software design. For example, if you are designing an MP3 Player, show the tasks that you are using, and what they are doing at a high level. Do not show the details of the code. For example, do not show exact code, but you may show psuedocode and fragments of code. Keep in mind that you are showing DESIGN of your software, not the inner workings of it.
Implementation
This section includes implementation, but again, not the details, just the high level. For example, you can list the steps it takes to communicate over a sensor, or the steps needed to write a page of memory onto SPI Flash. You can include sub-sections for each of your component implementation.
Testing & Technical Challenges
Describe the challenges of your project. What advise would you give yourself or someone else if your project can be started from scratch again? Make a smooth transition to testing section and described what it took to test your project.
Include sub-sections that list out a problem and solution, such as:
LED driver soldering
At first, the LED driver had difficulty implementing. The problem that occurred was that the soldering of the LED driver to the TSSOP to DIP20 adapter may have created a short along the way. After fixing the soldering, the data was able to be sent to the LED driver as expected.
ADC chip select
Conclusion
Conclude your project here. You can recap your testing and problems. You should address the "so what" part here to indicate what you ultimately learnt from this project. How has this project increased your knowledge?
