First dev post on Ticker (name needs work): a metronome which counts along to your beat. About half of my logged time has been spent on a rough design, with the other half being research. The plan is to have the device analyse the signal from an internal microphone to detect beats and determine BPM, and so I’m learning how to implement FFT in C++ (and how to use C++ in general!). Below is today’s design work; my initial idea was to mimic analog/pendulum metronomes with a motor, but I couldn’t think of a clean way to implement it. White strips on front will instead light up in time (having 7 allows us to represent compound times, although may be confusing for harder polyrhythms)
