Inspiration

The inspiration surrounding this project rooted from my partner and I's love for guitars. While Tony plays the actual guitar and I play guitar hero, we thought there was no better way than create a guitar inspired app.

What it does

Our app allows the user to tune a guitar or ukulele by pressing a button for each note they would like to tune. The app plays the sound the guitar/ukulele is supposed to make, and the user is expected to match that note.

How we built it

Tony and I built this app through xCode and Swift, making sure to utilize the diverse features across this software and language.

Challenges we ran into

Our two biggest challenges was learning and understanding how to use swift. After we had gotten used to the language and coding environment, we struggled with receiving and distributing audio. We made the decision to scrap receiving and analyzing audio, and decided just to include a player due to our time constraint.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Tony and I are super proud of our project, as this is both his and I's first ever mobile app made. It is also the first time we have ever created a project together, and competing in a Hackathon. We are very happy with how it turned out and can't wait to create more together.

What we learned

We learned an entire new coding language and environment, including Swift and xCode. We also learned how to efficiently pair program, and gained experience in utilizing Github.

What's next for PrecisionTune

The next big goal for PrecisionTune is to add the ability to take in and analyze audio, and be able to give a more accurate telling for tuning. We also want to create user accounts, and maybe implement some sort of machine learning.
