Where we make things that make weird sounds

##Organization

For those not familiar with Git, check this out:

http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/easy-version-control-with-git--net-7449

For those not familiar with Github,

  • The wiki is for general information sharing, for example, information on Arduinos, potential feature lists, links to tools, etc.
  • The issues section is for tracking bugs and features. Basically, any substantial change that needs to be made to the repository can have an issue.
  • Anything that's needed to actually make the project should go in the repository. So code, documentation, schematics, etc.

##Technologies

  • Since Nikhil and I have Arduino Unos, I think we should use those.
  • The Arduino Uno uses an ATmega328 AVR uC.
  • AVRs are usually programmed in C, and Arduino adds some useful libraries for them. You can get the Arduino editor/builder at http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software

##Where to Start

I'll upload a simple synthesizer to the repo soon and I'll post some resources on audio synthesis. Once we get that going, we can decide on what basic features we want this thing to have.
