What does your motion sound like?
We present DJBoard, combining skateboarding and DJ music
mixing, to make skateboarding more enjoyable and creative.
When skateboarders play DJBoard in different motions,
which trigger various musics, DJBoard mixes them into a track.
Simple Actions
Trigger music by simple actions. Either beginner or professionl can be DJ, making lifeful music
Customized Music
Show your individual characteristics by creating your own style music and different ways to mix
Phone Connection
Music played from your mobile phone, which records and transforms your moves to mapping tracks
What have we made?
Made with Arduino
We use Arduino Uno as the main hardware, to connect and communicate with various sensors, and observe the skateboarder's behaviors.
Connected with mobile devices
The Arduino on the board is connected with mobile phone through bluetooth. We built an Android app to play the music and mix the tracks.
Infrared Sensor
When the board starts moving, the IR sensor will be triggered and starts to play music. It also tracks the velocity simultaneously. As the player speeds up, it layers up different musics to play together.
Ultrasonic sensor
There is another channel of sound that will be triggered by ultrasonic sensor. When the distance between hands and the sensor change, the equalizer of the music will change as well.
Gyroscope
With a Gyroscope, we collect the data of the orientation and rotation angle of the board. Then we recognize if the board is moving straightly, spinning or fliping.
Pressure Sensor
We use multiple pressure sensors to acquire the position of the feet of the player, and check if the board is in the air. Combining them with other sensors' informations, we know the trick the player is playing.
