Demo video

Participated in Hackster.io's Hack To The Future hackathon.

Our team created a device which reads the temperature of its immediate surroundings. If the temperature rises too high, a "battle theme" tune from the Final Fantasy RPG franchise (programmed into the hardware) plays. If the temperature lowers to a certain level, the Final Fantasy "victory theme" tune plays instead.

We used an Intel Edison and related software developer kit, and a seeed Studio Grove starter kit (temperature sensing, speaker, button, and LED display modules).

Summary of contributions:

• Googling music midi files and translating pieces into individual notes and beats/rest timing, as well as the frequencies required to play specific notes within the code
• Using sample JavaScript code (further modified by team members) to program in the timing of rests and notes for each tune to match source music files
• Other team members did much of the initial hardware configuration and programming, as I was unfamiliar with JavaScript at the time. I was later mentored in a pair programming setting in how to code the songs.
