Project Title
Boom-Z Equalizer
Abstract
The purpose of this project is to allow the team to experiment with a sound reactive project. The team will use a specialized IC to convert the input audio signal into a digital signal that can be parsed by the SJSUone board. The team will also create the LED array grid that will be used to display the waveform/frequency representation of the audio signal. The final project should be able to take an input audio signal (using a regular audio cable/jack) and display some kind of frequency representation using the LED array grid.

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
Graphic Equalizer
Description
The main purpose of the graphic equalizer is to be able to take an audio input and generate an ADC output signal. The output values will be used to drive the LED Matrix values.
LED Matrix
Hardware Interface
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 Matrix Design
Discuss the issue and resolution.
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?
