March 29 Homework

  1. Button Journal: For this assignment, I created a google document that updates every time I press a button on my microcontroller. This admittedly isn’t particularly useful for anything.

2. Fender GT40: The Fender GT40 is a internet-enabled device that I find inspiring. It is a guitar amp that is Wifi and Bluetooth enabled. You can download guitar effects (distortion, echo, virtual guitar pedals) from a Fender smartphone app, Tone and upload it to this amp. I find this really interesting, but I’m not sure how I could build something like this. Unfortunately, full size guitar amps can be dangerous to work on. I have a small 9v powered guitar amp that might be better for this project. I think Max/MSP or p5 might be useful for this kind of thing.
