The main goal is to design a LED display system to visualize audio frequency spectrum. The system we designed is capable of displaying audio frequencies up to 4 kHz as we have taken 8*8 LED Matrix to display.The audio is sampled through an audio amplifier with 50dB. The signals will be converted by integrated ADC module in the LPC1578 micro controller. The FFT algorithm is implemented to convert the value from time domain to frequency domain.Extracted frequency samples are manipulated to get power spectrum and will be given  to LED matrix display through I2C interface. The LED matrix display will light up horizontal(row) and vertical(column) LEDs depending on the spectral component present in it.LED Matrix X-axis (rows) correspond to frequency and Y-axis (columns) correspond to power of that frequency, taken as the complex square root of the real and imaginary parts.
3. Software design including task, driver, testing etc.

=== Hardware Interface ===
 
=== 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.
+
As shown in the block diagram, the system is composed with 3 boards.
 +
 
 +
[[File:Audio visualizer hardware interface -rev03-05232016.jpg]]
 +
 
 +
The wiring of the system is shown in below Figure.
 +
 
 +
[[File:System wiring.jpg]]
 +
 
 +
For the audio sensor board,there are 3 pins connected to SJOne board:
 +
*1. GND connects to the X2 pin16(GND) in SJOne board;
 +
*2. VDD connects to the X2 pin17(VDD) in SJOne board.
 +
*3. Leave the Gain pin open to have gain as 60dB.
 +
*4. Connect the OUT pin to X1 pin 12(AD0.3) in SJOne board.
 +
 
 +
For the 8x8 LED matrix board, there are only 3 pins connected to SJOne board.Thanks to the “smarts” of the LED matrix backpack, this whole project requires fewer than a dozen parallel connections total:
 +
*1. Connect the LED matrix + pin to the SJOne Diode D1 cathord side as 5V to power up the LED board.
 +
*2. Connect the LED matrix – pin to X1 pin 1(GND) in SJOne board.
 +
*3. Connect the matrix backpack D (data) to X2 Pin 1(SDA1) in SJOne board and C (clock) pin to X2 pin 2(SCL1) in SJOne board, respectively.
 +
 
 +
Inside the SJOne board, ADC(Port 0.26)is used to sample the analog signals from audio sensor board. The converted digital signals will be 12 bits and they are passed to FFT module, after the FFT is calculated, the new values will be decoded by ARM controller and the controller will use I2C to write the registers in the LED matrix to light up the LEDs.

=== 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.

== 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?
+
Each module is tested manually as modules are small.Follwed boundary checks verification.
Make a smooth transition to testing section and described what it took to test your project.
+
Incremental integration is done.Initially FFT and ADC are integrated,then FFT LED Matrix areintegrated.
 +
Finally all three modules are integrated.
 +
 
 +
=== Testing and issues observed in ADC: ===
 +
1.ADC was not working,as watchdog was resetting,we were using timer0/timer 1 for generating interrupt.
 +
As they were already used by other peripherals on the SJ board board was rebooting periodically.
 +
 
 +
2.Switched to timer 3 and channel 3 on ADC ,but this time we were not sure whether samples were over written,
 +
so increased queue size to store the samples.
 +
 
 +
3.Without the presence of amplifier ADC generating samples due to noise,so we realized that we need a filter.
 +
Presently we are not using any filter.
 +
 
 +
4.Our semaphore initialization was done globally,later we eliminated to limit the globla variables.
 +
 
 +
5.Taken different test tones and checked whether generated output is within the range or not.
 +
 
 +
=== Testing and difficulties faced in FFT: ===
 +
1.It had taken long time to understand FFT calculation and to get the frequencies.
 +
 
 +
2.Standard libraries are taken for Cooley-Tuky implementation of FFT algorithm
 +
 
 +
3.Input given to test FFT when ADC module was not present is 0 to 4096 as these are the range of values generated by ADC.
 +
 
 +
4.We were able to test number of samples to FFT as 128 ,beyond that the values are crossing stack size and watchdog reset.
 +
 
 +
=== Testing and challenges observed in LED MAtrix: ===
 +
1.The data sheet was little confusing.
 +
 
 +
2.After reading many times understood that initialization and data writing need to be done in a particular sequence.
 +
 
 +
3.It has taken time to understand writing to each row and column.Followed trial and error method.
 +
 
 +
4.There is no provision to switch off all rows and columns simultaneously,except for display off and on.
 +
Written a separate function to call when required to switch off all LEDs together.
 +
 
 +
=== Integration testing: ===
 +
1.ADC output is given to FFT and result from adc is collected for further processing.
 +
observed from the  print statements, which has printed all zeros as it was going beyond the limit.
 +
Changed type of input to double.
  
Include sub-sections that list out a problem and solution, such as:
+
2.Had to refer different implementations to find the solutions how to to fit the display space to
 +
represent different frequencies and magnitude.So divided each row to represent magnitude from 0 to 4096 with interval of 512
 +
and column to represent 0 Hz to wk Hz with 500 Hz interval.
  
=== My Issue #1 ===
+
3.And a range of frequencies are summed to form a bin for representation purpose.
Discuss the issue and resolution.
+
 
 +
4.Tested with input frequencies from 20 Hz to 4KHz. For each frequency at approximately same frequency band LEDs are glowing.

The system we designed is capable of displaying audio frequencies up to 4 kHz as we have taken 8*8 LED Matrix to display.The audio is sampled through an audio amplifier with 50dB. The signals will be converted by integrated ADC module in the LPC1578 micro controller. The FFT algorithm is implemented to convert the value from time domain to frequency domain.Extracted frequency samples are manipulated to get power spectrum and will be given to LED matrix display through I2C interface. The LED matrix display will light up horizontal(row) and vertical(column) LEDs depending on the spectral component present in it.LED Matrix X-axis (rows) correspond to frequency and Y-axis (columns) correspond to power of that frequency, taken as the complex square root of the real and imaginary parts.

3.Without the presence of amplifier ADC generating samples due to noise,so we realized that we need a filter. Presently we are not using any filter.

4.Our semaphore initialization was done globally,later we eliminated to limit the globla variables.

5.Taken different test tones and checked whether generated output is within the range or not.

Testing and difficulties faced in FFT:

1.It had taken long time to understand FFT calculation and to get the frequencies.

2.Standard libraries are taken for Cooley-Tuky implementation of FFT algorithm

3.Input given to test FFT when ADC module was not present is 0 to 4096 as these are the range of values generated by ADC.

4.We were able to test number of samples to FFT as 128 ,beyond that the values are crossing stack size and watchdog reset.

Testing and challenges observed in LED MAtrix:

1.The data sheet was little confusing.

2.After reading many times understood that initialization and data writing need to be done in a particular sequence.

3.It has taken time to understand writing to each row and column.Followed trial and error method.

4.There is no provision to switch off all rows and columns simultaneously,except for display off and on. Written a separate function to call when required to switch off all LEDs together.

Integration testing:

1.ADC output is given to FFT and result from adc is collected for further processing. observed from the print statements, which has printed all zeros as it was going beyond the limit. Changed type of input to double.

2.Had to refer different implementations to find the solutions how to to fit the display space to represent different frequencies and magnitude.So divided each row to represent magnitude from 0 to 4096 with interval of 512 and column to represent 0 Hz to wk Hz with 500 Hz interval.

3.And a range of frequencies are summed to form a bin for representation purpose.

4.Tested with input frequencies from 20 Hz to 4KHz. For each frequency at approximately same frequency band LEDs are glowing.

Conclusion

Following are our learning outcomes from the project:

1.We have learned how to write ADC driver.

2.Use 3rd party software,modify for our needs and integrate.

3.How to use Queues and Semaphores for synchronization and communication.

4.Judging which tasks to have what priority

5.Writing any driver from the technical documentation from the manufacturer.

6.Specific to project,we have learned audio frequency ranges,different FFT implementations,LED interface and how LEDs are organized to glow particular pattern
