airmonica
The airmonica project was envisioned as a simple demonstration of the sound capabilities of the GinSing shield's polyphonic syntehsizer functions. After a prototype was created and shared using the instructables website, a more user friendly version was created with a ruggedized case and additional features, such as a song sequencer, voice control, and more.

dmxwheel
The dmxWheel project was our first look at the Raspberry Pi, which is an amazing credit card sized computer runinng linux with full HDMI video output and a general purpose I/O connection.
This project utilizes the LXDE window manager to display an HSV color editing control that dynamically sets the color of a DMX colorwash light unit in realtime. The project involved writing the interface code bewteen the raspi and the Velleman DMX controller in C++ using the native platform ( as a library ), and writing a GTK based application within LXDE that used the HSV widget. This project opens the door to the potential of creating a commercial application that is a full DMX512 light controller system with built in GUI on a $30 piece of hardware.
