Final version of the code for Pi, an Arduino-based MIDI drumkit
Pi is an Arduino-based MIDI drumkit created by Computer Science Undergrad students and bandmates Dan Friedman & Tom Kearney. Pi was designed, developed and produced in January of 2013 as a J-term project for Oberlin College.
Building Pi entailed 3 components:
- Designing the drum pads, physical housing, and octave switching system.
- Building the circuit to convert physical vibrations (drum strikes) to 5v signal inputs.
- Programming the Digital Signal Processing algorithm to read the drum pad inputs and produce relevant MIDI data.
