FINAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION
I would realize an interactive music instrument. I called it MODULAR RAINBOWPHONE because the project has been started form the PurplePhone, an earlier synth I realized using Arduino and a light sensor.
This project is modular because I would realize a control box in which you can insert each input shield you can build following an open standard I give, and every input shield could be realized using a different sensor. For my work, I mind to realize a photoresistor light sensor, a color detector and a interactive textile sensor.
I could use a Raspberry PI 2.0 to handle the interaction and generate sounds using the software pure data, so the instrument could work without a laptop, or I could realize a command box to connect by serial or midi to a common sound generator, as a laptop or a digital sound instrument.
To create nice visual effect during the sound performance, I will add an infinity mirror with a RGB ledstrips, where is placed the loudspeaker, in order to change colors and blinking delay of led following the music parameters.
Anyway I need to realize:
the DAC and loudspeaker board
the wireless control box
some sensor shield
the wireless command box
the wireless RGB driver shield
an infinity mirror

At the end, the instrument will be composed in three parts:
command box connected to a sound generator
portable control box
infinity mirror - loudspeaker
