Project Title

LED Display of Audio Spectrum

Abstract

1. Design an LED display system for audio spectrum; 2. Design hardware board, including microcontroller, Microphone as audio input, ADC, GPIO to drive LED matrix; 3. Software design including task, driver, testing etc.

Objectives & Introduction

The main objective of the project is to convert audio analog signal from time domain to frequency domain and display the frequency and amplitude using LED matrix.

  • 1. The control unit is using LPC1578 SJOne board which perform the Fast Fourier Transform(FFT). It takes input from audio module and uses ADC to convert to digital signals as input of FFT module, it uses I2C bus to write LED matrix board to display.
  • 2. The audio input module is Adafruit Electric Microphone Amplifier - MAX9814 with Auto Gain Control; If takes sound/audio as input and filter the noise and pass the analog signal to SJOne board.
  • 3. The 8x8 LED matrix is Adafruit Bicolor LED Square Pixel Matrix with I2C Backpack.There is I2C slave chip on board so SJOne board can write the registers to light up the LED to indicate frequency and amplitude.

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

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:

My Issue #1

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?
