Problem Statement
We are trying to connect Arduino and Mini Sheild to the Beat Bearing Sequencer

Project Plan
" First Week :

Jack and David :Figure out how to connect Synthesizer With the beat bearing to the Aurdino.

Parth : Instead of FGPA, Use Bread Board and figure it out how to connect to the  Aurdino."

Week 1 Narrative
'' First week, I tried to connected Arduino with Breadboard so that we don't have to use FGPA. I tried to follow the instruction to connect Arduino and Bread Board (Taken from : http://www.jameco.com/Jameco/workshop/JamecoFavorites/beatsequencer.html?sp_rid=MTgzNDUwMzg1MTYS1&sp_mid=3854041). Actual Connection of Bread board and Arduino in lab :

we are not using the Connection of Arduino to Breadboard.

Our Group Decided to use connect Aurdino to Midi Shield :

Our group connected the Aurdino and Midi shield properly. Then we connected Aurdino to the computer by USB Cable. Jack bring the synthesizer ( Keyboard) so that we can connect to the Midi Shield.I connected the Keyboard to supply power by 9 v Source. On wikiversity they have sample programming code for Midi Shield using Aurdino Software, We just Plug that code to check that it works or not. I upload the code to Aurdino by selecting Upload button and it works. Keyboard provides sound depend on the program which was upload to Midi Shield.

Next Steps - On Midi Shield, they have switch so i am trying to figure it out whats the use of that switch and how it effect the Music.Figure it out , how to program Midi Shield and how to connect to the beat bearing.

Week 2 Narrative
''Midi sheild is connected to Aurdino overlapping each other.In last Week of class we have done experiment about playing the music by connecting arudino to midisheild and midisheild is connected to keyboard. There are different switch on midisheild which has diffrent function.The switch on the midi sheild plays an important role. There are 5 switch : Two long switch which is used for volume (Right Switch) and another for Tempo(Left Switch).The three small Switch : (1)Select ( Start recording / Reset).(2)Memorize. (3)Instrument cycle.

Week 3 Narrative
In Week 3 ,task was to check the complete circuit of beat bearing as it it connected properly with wires and ground wires. It was complete in correct situation and was working successfully.When we place the Bering to the sequencer the arudino reads the signal on the arudino software. Next problem was how to connect the beat bearing to the Breadboard. The beat bearing is connected by two wires: 1)Ground wires and 2) IDE Cable.In below figure ,Singal wire is called ground wire and bunch of wires is called IDE cable. It is shown below:

Week 4 Narrative
''The IDE Cable is connected to Beat bearing through connector.A Connection was made to connect IDE Cable to the BreadBoard and Bread Board to the Arduino. Material Used : 1) Resistor ( 100 ohm, 1 0hm),Usb Cable,Arduino Uno,Bread Board,Led,Beat Bearing Board Circuit diagram is shown below.

This circuit blinks the led but arduino software did not read the signal because the beat bearing board is not properly connected to the circuit. .This circuit needs Improvements of wires, resistor, voltage and completeness of the circuit. ''
