Hun Capstone Introduction

The Capstone Experience is an independent project completed by all Hun Seniors and PGs. It provides opportunities for students to complete in-depth studies or explorations of things that are meaningful to them.

Mini Car

Peter and I decided to build a mini car using Arduino that its motion is controlled by the music(notes/ frequencies) played by his soprano saxophone. The main algorithm we used was the FFT(Fast Fourier Transform), which computes the DFT(Discrete Fourier Transform).

References and Libraries

This arduinoFFT library is suitable for our purpose with great consistency and accurarcy -- https://github.com/kosme/arduinoFFT

And some helpful articles throughout the building proccess:

Example code and graphs to show results --

Very good explaination of the FFT and DFT, but it is in Matlab --
