Welcome Back to The Cassio Blog!!!!! That is what I am titling my releases from this class from now on.
For our third and final project, we were instructed to create any product that would improve day-to-day life using Arduino and everything else we have learned in class.
I started brainstorming by looking through the old WordPress blogs that old POD students wrote for their final projects. I was amazed!!! I had a couple ideas stemming from music, midi board, and light before hand, but the posts really helped propel me to my final three.
- Typewriter Pager For Friends
This project stemmed from my main issue in my life: I hate texting on my phone. Spending time staring into a screen more than I have to is unappealing to me, but I still want to contact my friends and see their messages.
I thought of a pager… and thus my Typewriter Pager was born! I want to create two small screens with a keyboard attached, that the user can give to their friend and then exchange cute messages and ideas through Wifi. [Note: Talk to Becky about feasibility]
2. Phone Stand + Speaker Magnifier + Lights that React to Music
The next issue that needed to be solved was… What to do when my Bluetooth speaker dies at a party???? The Phone Stand Speaker with Lights!!! It is a product that boosts the sound from your phone and has a light that reacts to the music.
3. DIY Soundboard or Midi Board
I recently took a DIY Guitar Pedals class (Thank you Kyle) and I learned a lot about soldering and creating my own pedal. This started the thought of incorporating this new knowledge and skills into my final project into some kind of Midi or Soundboard that I can control the sounds that are put into it.
If anyone has extra thoughts or comments, I would love to hear below!! <3
