Project Title: The Auto-chromatic Tuner
Advisor: Dr. James Irwin
Project Description:
This project is a continuation from last semester.
The objective of the auto-chromatic tuner is to
determine the pitch and intonation of a musical
instrument in real time. Four modes exist: Off,
Auto Tuning, Manual Tuning, and Audible Reference
Pitch. My objective is to continue to
expand upon the work already completed last semester.
Specifically, attention will be given to the
automatic gain control. Also, improvements
will be made to the microphone and speakers, and
the software will be completed. The existing
unit, after completion, will be transferred to a
printed circuit board which may be neatly packaged
for marketability.
