Digital Project

I've used python a little bit before but I never actually knew what the point of it was/why it was created. I also learned how to comment things out which is super helpful because it varies by language.

Python Worksheet 2

Something new I learned from this worksheet was how to create and use dictionaries. Something I want to learn more about are the different errors python may give.

Digital Project Idea

My current idea is to make something that sits on top of my amplifier and measures the audio output. If/when the audio output reaches 80 decibels, it will flash text on the screen that reads something like "Audio is above 80 decibels. Maybe turn it down a bit?". I will use the Feather M4 Express Microcontroller because it can link to external audio/microphones so I will also have to use a microphone to actually pull in the audio. If I have time, I will add LEDs that change which ones are lit up based on the audio levels. Because it is meausring audio input, it is technically a part of my amplifier project but it also can be used otherwise.

I wrote code that rotates through 3 different positive messages. I think my biggest chalenge was time constraints - I was not able to make my original idea unfortunately but I'm still happy with how it turned out.
