Executive Summary

LED Matrix Spectrometer

Our project involves interfacing with an array of LED matrices, audio input, and a touch screen. The goal is to implement two separate functions on the LED matrices. This first function is an audio spectrometer display based on audio input. The second is controlling the LED matrices using a touch screen interface.


Give two sentences telling what works.

Give two sentences telling what isn't working.

End with a two sentence conclusion.

The sentence count is approximate and only to give an idea of the expected length.

Packaging

If you have hardware, consider Small Build, Big Execuition for ideas on the final packaging.

Give step by step instructions on how to install your project.

User Instructions

Once everything is installed, how do you use the program? Give details here, so if you have a long user manual, link to it here.

Highlights

Here is where you brag about what your project can do.

Include a YouTube demo the audio description.

Theory of Operation

Give a high level overview of the structure of your software. Are you using GStreamer? Show a diagram of the pipeline. Are you running multiple tasks? Show what they do and how they interact.
