My name is Varshini Appan Premkumar, and I am a student at Marquette high school. I am working on a project for my PLTW Capstone course that requires the use of electronics such as Raspberry Pi. I am hoping to make a music tool used in Carnatic and Hindustani music (Indian Classical singing). It is called a Shruti box and most shruti boxes are large and difficult to carry around so I am hoping to create a portable version of this. Shruti boxes generally play loops of particular notes to help the musician stay in tune. The notes that are played are determined by the pitch the musician sets the shruti box. I am also hoping to have a metronome with it. Finally, I am hoping to have a screen to display all of this information on. I was wondering what kind of electronics I would need to make this project possible. I would appreciate any guidance on this topic.
Hi,
I won’t be able to answer all your question I am too newb on robotic.
You will need a rasberri Pi first, than probably some capacitor. A power supply if this box are plug on the wall, some battery pack if this box are not plug in the wall. You will need wires, on the breadboard try finding 20 AWG its the biggest you may take that fit so the biggest mean more protection and less resistance if you take alot. You may take between 22-25 to 18 AWG of you prefer. ( but if you take 18 AwG for a bread board you might need to push too hard and broke your breadboard). A thing that make your metronome move, maybe a servo?
(Edit)
Probably somes volt regulators, maybe a power distribution board if you need alot of items, probably a clock ( https://ca.robotshop.com/fr/products/sparkfun-horloge-en-temps-reel-ds3234) ( something like this) so I think it would set metronome on beat, I might be wrong) you will need probably some speackers and or something to hit on and a bell to make the noise you might want.
O my IA told me the best wires for breadboard is 22, it give you enought power and are not too tick. A 22 AWG can support up to 6 amps.
I would suggest you to dowload an IA it wpuld help you solved alot of your question
You can proceed with the following components: 1. Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W or Raspberry Pi 4 Model B.
2.I2S Speaker Module (e.g., MAX98357-based).
3.OLED/TFT display.
4. Push buttons or a rotary encoder.
5. Battery pack (5V output) or PowerBoost 1000C.
6. Wires, breadboard, and connectors.
