For this team project, Bowei, Dave and I brainstormed together over zoom and came up with some great ideas, for example, we wanted to use the WiFi feature of Arduino to have Bowei control the Arduino over China. However, due to time zone and location constraints, we couldn't work on the project together and those ideas are not really feasible with the limited tools and stuff we learned so far. Therefore, Dave and I decided to use distance sensor and sound and accelerometer to create a musical instrument of some sorts after browsing online and picking our favorite components. We want to make this instrument into a glove, so when the person move his/her hand, the tones/pitches change.
The first thing we did was to layout the circuit for the MVP of our idea through Fritzing, so we could try it out and get an idea of what the finish breadboard look like (see Figure 1).

Then, following the circuit diagram, we made sure the code and sensor worked together (see Video 1), which it did. Next step, we added the pitches.h file, which allowed speaker to play tones.
