Current Projecs
At any one time, multiple projects are going on in the Lab. Here are a few highlights that we're working on now, along with some past work that was started before we built the current space.



Working prototype of low-cost air quality sensor system that writes data to the flash drive on the Raspberry Pi Pico. One of our students is sonifying the data in Max/MSP. We can power the setup on battery power and will be taking it around various sites in Pittsburgh to collect data.


A simple electret condenser microphone wired up to an 1/8" output jack.


Some sensors wired up to microcontrollers using the I2C serial bus.


Environmental data plotted from an older build, using the amazing (and free!) jpgraph package for PHP.

A neopixel strip that responds to amplitude.

A neopixel strip that responds to spectrum -- using a frequency-modulated sine wave as a basic example.

A neopixel strip that responds to spectrum -- using a Richard Devine track as an example!
