Undergraduate Senior Design Project
Spring 2017 Digital System/Microcontroller-based Senior Design
GUITAMATIC- A automatic guitar player machine project page
The project is an automatic guitar playing machine. It reads a MIDI file and translates that to mechanical movement, which plucks the guitar strings and presses on the notes accordingly. It is able to mimic a guitarist.
- Won the First place in Purdue Spark Challenge Competition, out of about 50 teams.
- Hardware & Mechanical Designer
- Designed, implemented and tested STM32 based microcontroller and 24V solenoid driver circuit.
- Integration of the software and hardware.
- Designed, processed and assembled the mechanical support structure using a milling machine, bandsaw, and belt sander.
- Project documentation and team webpage maintenance.
