As it was becoming more difficult to work on both the 3D visualiser and the LED keyboard at the same time, I have decided to drop the the LED keyboard project and put all my focus into the visualiser. I chose drop that project because to create my visualiser, I am using Max MSP and Jitter, which is something that I already have a good understanding of and, being that it is mainly computer based, it would be easier to work with. The LED keyboard however, because I was using an Arduino, there was a big learning curve to understand the code in that. Not only the code, the electronics side was another learning curve. Plus, being able to have 24/7 access to an Arduino was difficult to have unless I purchased one for myself, which I did not have the financial capability to do.
I also worried that my LED keyboard might not work or that it wouldn't be finished in time for the assignment deadline. Furthermore, I was also aware that the LED keyboard on it's own was not to a large enough scale that would be interesting to a live audience; so if I was to drop one project or the other, it was always going to be the LED keyboard, regardless of how much of a learning curve there was. I do have a desire to finish this project, but it will have to be in my own time.
As a result of this new focus, I have written up a new project proposal that focuses on the visualiser. This will be in a post after this one.
