Project

The motivation

• To learn piano on your own
• To learn intuitively with a visual system
• To learn without additional materials

What this project does

• Practice is plug and play
• Let the keyboard do the work
• Gives you flexibility to learn whenever and wherever

System

Methods

• Data is tracked for each key
• Force Sensing Resistors record the pressure applied to keys
• The analog value of each key exponentially decays as it is pressed
• A stack tracks the availability of audio generators
• The system can run on its 73 Wh battery through a DC/DC converter
• The system can read MIDI files from a micro SD card
• MIDI playback controls the LEDs using a state machine

Conclusion

• LULK guides your fingers to the music
• The portability and autonomy of LULK allow greater independent learning
• LULK provides customizability
• Being good at something is fun, and LULK aims to bring fun to the learning process as well
• There is so much that can be added to LULK to further the ability of those learning piano
