Week 3 Update – Prototype Assembled, App Structure Built
Following the arrival of our components last week, Week 3 saw significant progress on two major fronts: hardware prototyping and the foundational development of the MusicBike Android application. Hardware Prototype Live! We successfully assembled our core components—the ESP32-S3 development board, MPU9250 IMU, and KY-003 Hall Effect sensor—onto a breadboard. The great news is we have…

Project Proposal
Music Bike transforms cycling into a dynamic musical experience by adapting music in real time to a rider’s actions using sensors mounted on the bike. The goal is to make riding feel like leading an orchestra. What We Aim to Achieve Our primary objective is to deliver a fluid, low-latency adaptive audio system where the connection between…

System hardware requirements
Week 1 Update: Our team is defining hardware specifications for the prototype. We’re establishing requirements for a microcontroller with Bluetooth capability, 9-axis IMU integration, display support, and wheel speed sensor compatibility. Rather than limiting future development, we’re specifying components with headroom for design evolution as the project progresses.
