//C JAM

The coolest environment friendly sound board created in 24 hours by non-computer majors. Includes 30 different sounds

Comment 1

Inspiration:

Our passion for music and spontaneous weird noises.

What it does:

Stores and plays mp3 files at the press of a button, which lights up upon interaction. One button is assigned to switch between sound categories, and each category holds 6 different sounds.

How we built it:

With Arduino, cardboard material, bottle caps, funny recordings and tears. We assembled the Arduino using an Arduino MP3 Music Shield and a couple of breadboards.

Challenges we ran into:

The amount of pins available, working with analog inputs, creating the code, and putting the buttons in the cardboard at 3AM. Due to some electrical phenomena, our last 2 lights ended up being very dim.

Accomplishments that we're proud of:

We covered all of our goals, it works, "HUNIT"!

What we learned:

We learned how to code in Arduino, basic electronics, the principals of listeners (even though we didn't include them), and lots of teamwork and Google research experience.

What's next for C JAM:

Making a 3D printed vessel, and reducing the delay of the outputs in order to hook this up to a HUGE speaker and make it lit!
