Notes

Plan

  • Test speaker without Arduino
  • can be done by using a function generator and 3.3V square wave with variable frequency
  • Write AVR C code to generate a square wave of varying frequency via Timer1
  • Timer1 is used so that a pre-scalar and its calculations don't need to be done
  • Use a table/array that stores frequencies and the indices correspond to the buttons on the sound board
  • Create buffers to add recording/saving/playing functionality
  • the buffers are a sequence of notes (which are the indices of the previous table) that is terminated by some other byte
  • Figure out how the LCD in the starter kit is programmed
  • Show the current and surrounding notes in the currently selected buffer (or the note of the soundboard button that was just pressed)
  • Add a menu on the second row to select the memory buffer (maybe 1-5)
  • it is controlled by left and right buttons
