Meeting Notes October 2, 2025

• Jamal’s idea:
  • Modular design
  • Microcontroller shared between some steps.
  • Single RasPi.
  • Configurable sounds, configured by RasPi
  • SDcard storage.
  • Design redundancy, failsafes
• Arabella agrees with Jamal?!
  • Not really opinionated
• Olivia’s ideas:
  • Chromatic scale?
• Cameron’s ideas:
  • Somehow agrees with Jamal
  • Sound decay
  • Touchscreen interactivity for volume, on/off
• David’s idea:
  • Also agrees with Jamal?! But not about in everything.
  • Maybe only a single sound system on RasPi
  • Decay parameter
  • Attack parameter
  • Analog sensor to avoid interference?
  • Beam breaker sensors, no AI involved. Boring.
  • Olivia’s task master.
• Evelyn’s ideas:
  • See issues, MVP
  • Stretch goals would be good, attach to MVP issue
• Owen:
  • Everything’s been stated.
• Nathan:
  • Recording sounds is not a good idea.
    • I disagree, Arabella and Brandon agrees with me.
    • Use WSU UIDs to register.
• Mark’s ideas:
  • Optimize number of microcontrollers
  • Transpositions is a thing, do it.
  • LED colors be black or white. Black LEDs, I say.
    • David: BLACKLIGHTS
• Brandon:
  • Run it all on Fry with a whole lot of AI. We all agree.
    • Mark: use an AI filter to keep recorded sounds appropriate.
    • Get Kijowski’s permission. Let Brandon know how it goes.
    • Mark agreed to make the model.
  • Mark: Use cameras and image recognition.
• Wens:
  • Speakers on each step: no latency
  • Decide on sensor choice.
  • Prototype early.
  • Wireless communications between microcontrollers
