For my project I would like to make a musical remote. Attach a sensor to arduino to capture infrared waves radiating from the remote and play random melodies that would generate from the remote as a result. Different channels would have different melodies.

Today, what is the current highest risk part of your project?

     Figuring out how to program my device.

what is your plan to alleviate that risk?

     Try and figure out the code.

what is you plan to do for/in next class?

     Get the songs programmed as far as I can. Start creating a little box for it.

what actually happened?

I don't know...

What will you do before the next class meeting?
