CYCLONE V's Role in Advancing String Generation

The group made use of the Kaplus-Strong string synthesis approach to develop a triad of four-stringed tools to be played by the Cyclone V FPGA. A C program working on the advancement board's ARM 9 HPS acts as a song sequencer, managing pace as well as informing the FPGA which to keep in mind to play. The trainees produced variations of 4 tunes, consisting of "Color Styles of the Wind" from the Pocahontas soundtrack, "Far Above Cayuga's Seas" (Cornell's University) as well as John Tale's "Every One of Me". A basic GUI enables the customer to choose a tune as well as to select which tool or tools to play, offering several variants for every tune.

Quality Assurance Through FPGA

[Claire Chen] and [Mark Zhao], students in [Bruce Land]’s ECE5760 class at Cornell, created a project aimed at the manufacturing sector: quality-checking manufactured products automatically by visually scanning a bunch of them and processing the pixels one at a time. Ordinarily, the time when the widget comes off the line is when you have to bring in actual people to inspect. This project uses morphological image processing to like dilation and erosion to look for flaws. [Claire] and [Mark] created a simulated manufacturing line with a servo-driven belt that brings a series of Spree candies into the range of a …read more http://pje.fyi/PLY2qj

Synthesizing Strings on a Cyclone V

Cornell students [Erissa Irani], [Albert Xu], and [Sophia Yan] built a FPGA wave equation music synth as the final project for [Bruce Land]’s ECE 5760 class. The team used the Kaplus-Strong string synthesis method to design a trio of four-stringed instruments to be played by the Cyclone V FPGA. A C program running on the development board’s ARM 9 HPS serves as music sequencer, controlling tempo and telling the FPGA which note to play. The students created versions of four songs, including “Colors of the Wind” from the Pocahantas soundtrack, “Far Above Cayuga’s Waters” (Cornell’s alma mater) and John Legend’s  …read more http://pje.fyi/PCDbGB
