My Final Project
My original Final Project idea started off as a Cat Cabin for year round living for stray outside cats.
Upon further research it became clear that, in terms of length of time that the completion of this project
would take, as well as construction, wiring, & a realistic troubleshooting a window. I decided to go in a
new direction and go with a different idea altogether. The cat cabin will still be built, I just wont use it as
a final project for this assignment.
Here is a sketch of my new idea that I will be moving forward with as my final project.
The idea that I decided to go with is an audio decible detector and visual outptut system
called "Noisey Boy". This device will use a microphone to detect ambient noise in the room.
Based on the volume of that noise, the device will output signals to different parts of the
devices' led screens, lights, and digital db meter.
Research
In terms if research. I used my experience as a teacher, working in a classroom.
Often volume fluctuates from lower to higher at different times. So I figured it
would be a good idea to have a visual reperesentation of how loud the perceived
volume actually is. When the volume is within, below, or above desired thresholds,
the device will output certain values that will activate indicater lights and LED's.
This device will feature 3 output mechanisms. A db meter, led light indicator, and
led solid color display.
How did I GIT it done?
After an amazing GIT discussion with my Instructor, setting up my GIT repository was easier.
It took a little trial and error learning to upload files and docs. But it is coming together.
I can now organize my files, review different versions of my page in case I need to revert to
a previous version that worked to my liking. Uploading files and making changes seemed really
difficult on day one and two, but now it's much simpler.
