  • Final product being assembled
  • Rewiring of components based on pre-determined mapping of the interior of the headband for the placement of hardware elements

UX/UI | Mar 25, 2021

  • Front-end progress: Added new interactive elements (correction mode toggle button and band button)
  • Added eq to the legend

GENERAL | Mar 25, 2021

  • Team poster!!!!!

MECH | Mar 20, 2021

  • Reprint of headband with modifications
  • Adjustments made to ensure all components fit inside
  • Used new material (TPU-95A)

SOFTWARE | Mar 10, 2021

  • Front end work has progressed significantly
  • Components are placed on the screen
  • Need to link mouse-event functionalities

MECH | Mar 5, 2021

  • 3D printed a sample prototype to make sure components fit within the band
  • Added foam on the inner circumference to ensure sizing requirements are still being met (one size fits all)

SOFTWARE | Feb 20, 2021

  • Will be using p5.js for the app as it provides a good api for audio visualization and analysis, as well as faster communication with photon
  • Wrote the code needed to display frequency information to web app
  • Have code to communicate with photon, but needs to be tested and explored to understand how to audio is going to come in and latency
  • Tested filter application to sound sources which works and multiple filters can be connected, however math behind this still needs to be explored

1. Ordered/Collected parts

  • 3.7 V, 400 mAh LiPO battery
  • LiPO battery charging port
  • Switch
  • Mic Module (MAX9814)
  • Accelerometer (ADXL335)
  • Photon (already had)

2. Designed and built circuit

  • Soldered all the connections
  • Tested each sensor

UX/UI | Feb 5, 2021

  • Based on user feedback, adjustments have been made to the design of the desktop app

HARDWARE | Jan 29, 2021

  • Testing various analog and digital omnidirectional microphones with different specs to see which ones give us the best frequency readings (using an Arduino uno and MATLAB interface)
  • Will be conducting similar testing on the accelerometers and order pre-made sound sensors which have amplifying circuits
  • Will be designing and ordering custom PCB for the powering system and build system with the batteries

UX/UI | Jan 28, 2021

  • Initial design concepts for the wavband desktop application made with Figma
  • Next steps: more mock designs and user feedback/testing
