Project Title
Laser Harp
Abstract
Our plan is to design a budget version of a laser harp. This can be accomplished using infrared LEDs and infrared sensitive photodiodes. The two diode system will emulate strings of a harp. When the infrared sensor has detected an note that is played, the microcontroller will read the input from the ADC and send out a control signal to the MIDI board and the corresponding sound will play from the speaker. Controls include changing the loudness of the speaker.
Objectives & Introduction

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
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
There are two tasks: the MIDI Task(consumer) and the ADC Task (producer). Data is sent between modules over SPI and the value in which a sensor has been triggered is stored in a FreeRTOS queue. The consumer task sleeps while waiting for the queue to receive a value.
The MIDI Task handles sending commands to the VS1053, which includes turning notes on/off, changing volume, and changing instrument. Communication is done with the SJ One Board through SSP1. When a note is received in the queue, the task wakes and processes the note type.
The ADC Task handles reading values from the sensors through the ADC converter by looping through every channel and checking if the value is above 835. If it is, it sends a corresponding note type to the queue, which signals the MIDI to play a note. This task also includes the volume and instrument controls, because the MIDI Task may be asleep when the button is pressed. Communication is done with the SJ One Board through SSP0.
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:
My Issue #1
Talk about voltage drop?
My Issue #2
