Inspiration

This project was born out of a desire to marry the ideas of Pi-computing and music generation in a fun and interactive way.

What We Learned

We found out more than we expected about Raspberry Pi GPIO, Python3 Threading, Ruby, inter-process network communication, and the utilization of ultrasonic sensors.
