Week 5 Narrative
'' There was problem in the previous circuit diagram of the large beat bearing connection to the Arduino.The previous circuit diagram was modified and alligator wire was used as a two terminal wire .By using alligator wire ,one can test each 32 pins on ribbon cable to check that the circuit is working or not.The image of  Alligator wire and Previous circuit which was modified in virtual Bread Board is shown below.

This connection is working properly and arduino software is reading the signal when the switch is pushed. Next step is to introduce the alligator wire to check all 32 pins on ribbon cable whether this connection is correct or not.This connection is working properly for alligator wire.Here is a VIDEO reading signal when bearing is put on the beat bearing board. Next steps : To connect all Ide Ribbion cable in to one cable and that one cable is connected to positive Alligator wire. "

Week 6 Narrative
Since the last connection is working, the left Side of Beat Bearing Board of IDE Cable is connected with Bread Board Connectors ( 20 Gauge) and The Right Side of Beat Bearing Board is connected to Jumper Bread Board Wire. One Copper Wire is warped around the Left and Right Side pf Beat Bearing Board which is connected at the end of Bread Board connector and jumper wire. This copper wire is connected with alligator wire which complete the circuit.All The Beat Bearing Switch is Working in proper way.Here is a VIDEO of connection between Beat Bearing Board and Arduino .The Led is blinking when bearing is put in different location on beat bearing board. Arduino software is reading signal of the circuit when bearing is being place on beat bearing board.''

Week 7 Narrative
Since the last connection where works for only one time when bearing is been put on beat bearing board, this week focused on a new connection that works for all beat bearing for several times. First the important task was to mapping of the beat bearing board and the result came out of this was interesting and only 16 pins were useful i.e 16 pins are connected to different washer and other 16 pins were useless. The mapping of beat bearing board is shown below :

The circuit is working correctly and voltmeter is reading the current. Here is a VIDEO.

Next Step - Connect other parts of beat bearing to the bread board and Check the testing connection using volt meter.Connect with Keyboard and check with the code whether the connection works or not.

Week 8 Narrative
The other part of beat bearing IDE Cables has only 16 wire connected to washer.So, only 16 pins are useful for connection and other can be neglected. The 16 pins are divide in two parts (1) Eight in upper row (2) Eight in lower row. The header is use to connect these IDE Cable.

The connection was checked by voltmeter and it was in working condition.

Next Steps - Test this connection with Keyboard and midi Shield and if needed change the multiplexer.
