Lets Get it Started in Heah

Today is the first day in an epic journey...we have created the blog post... even though we have already started our project. So, we will post some things about what we have researched/found so far soon! Stay tuned Light Beat fans!

Project Name: Light Beats

Project Members:  Vlad Dinov Eric Beauregard, Brett Harding, Jake Fein

Quick project synopsis: We are creating an electric tutorial drum set using the Arduino board! It is an drum set that is playable with the aid of a computer running a musical application that will be able to teach you to learn drum beats using LEDs that will be associated with each drum pad and the drum pedal. it will also have a Glow-in-the-Dark mode where the LEDs will stay on continuously, making the drum set playable in the pitch dark! perfect for concerts and cool effects!!

**These developments happened before we created the blog. other parts of the timeline not listed include: finding team members, creating a GroupMe chat group for communication, brainstorming ideas via late night ooVoo calls.

Even though we have already started our project, here is some videos about what our project will contain:

This first video shows a quick demonstration of someone hitting the drum pads and the arduino sending the sounds to some output for sound.

This second video shows how we can edit some of our code so that we can tune each of the drum pads correctly. This will come in handy once we reach that point of making sure the drums are sending their signal correctly when hit.

We will have more for you when the time comes, but for now, take it easy.
