Introduction Our final project is a NES-style chiptune player that changes its playback tempo in response to heart rate measurements from the user. The chiptune player successfully generates four individual channels: pulse, triangle, noise, and delta modulation. After audio mixing through a hardware circuit, the resulting mono signal sounds as intended, with no waveform clipping […]
Introduction “A device that pitch-shifts voice in real time” For our final project, we attempted to implemented a real-time vocal pitch shifter. The system was designed to work as follows: a user speaks into a microphone, their vocals are processed using a pitch shifting algorithm, and the resulting signal is output through speakers. All of
Introduction This project visually displays the frequency content of an audio signal using an 8X3 grid of LEDs. A microphone and amplifier collect analog audio input which is sampled digitized using the MCU’s analog-digital converter. The samples are buffered and and a 32 point discrete cosine transform is performed in real time to obtain 32
Introduction For our final project, we have decided to use the microcontroller provided to make a device which would measure body fat percentage of one’s body. The basic principle behind this project is known as bioelectrical impedance analysis. This technique uses a small alternating current flowing between two electrodes attached to skin surface to determine
INTRODUCTION This project implements a real-time scrolling spectrogram-style visualization of an audio signal. We successfully displayed the frequency spectrum content in real time using a 4-bit grayscale scrolling display on any NTSC television. The frequency spectrum of an audio line-in input or mic input is calculated and displayed in real time using two ATmega1284 microcontrollers
