Pre-Read
Since our System Level Design Review, we have started to meet more in person to gain a better understanding of our inventory and what work the previous teams have done. The focus of our design remains a semi-autonomous player piano device capable of assisting a human pianist in playing a piece, with a user interface, full autonomous support, among other requirements.
Over the course of this meeting, we will be going through the topics listed in the agenda above. This will begin with a review of the project definition, including customer and engineering requirements, and our progress in the design process to this point. Each team member will then talk more in depth about the subsystem or process that they have focused their efforts on in this phase, including any work they have done with feasibility, schematics, and/or prototyping. We will then review our current bill of materials and any items we will be looking to purchase at this point. Next up will be our continued work on developing process flowcharts and assessing risks associated with this project. Finally, we will update you on out project schedule and review our plans for the next phase
If you would like to review the work we have completed during this phase, feel free to follow this link to the Preliminary Detailed Design page in Confluence:

Agenda and discussion notes
| Time | Item | Who | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 min | Background/Review of Project | Steven Petrick | N/A |
| 5 min | Sustain Pedal Design | Josiah Martuscello | Current design/actuator won't work for other pedals; expensive to purchase more actuators; consider feedback button to stop actuator from moving past a certain point; make sure feedback works both autonomously and with a human; document possibility for actuation of other pedals |
| 5 min | Solenoid Extender Design | Jeffrey Seamon | O-rings are (relatively) easy to replace, not a permanent fixture |
| 5 min | Solenoid System Design | David Anthony | Calculating power required by hand (not simulated); it's doable to use household power supply |
| 5 min | Feedback System Design | Nick Besley | Microphone: dynamics, record to MIDI; Buttons: real time, show missed keys; ensure feedback across all functions; keep in mind that microphones may require phantom power |
| 5 min | Server/Frontend Design | Steven Petrick | N/A |
| 5 min | Bill of Materials | David Anthony | Ron likes "dream piano" concept, include that when talking about BOM |
| 5 min | Risk Assessment | Josiah Martuscello | N/A |
| 5 min | Plans for Next Phase | Nick Besley | N/A |
| 5 min | Thank you, Questions, Approval | Nick Besley | Have a consistent plan to cover each subsystem, include bullets of "what to do" after each |
Presentation
The following link leads to the presentation given for the review: Preliminary Detailed Design Review Presentation. A PDF version is also available here.
Issues Raised
- Presentation included too much info for a gate review, but was good for now
- Discuss calibration more
Decisions Made
- Approval given ("March On") to proceed to Detail Design Phase
Action items
- Team will complete peer evaluations
- Ron will make contact with with Catherine Lewis (director of DSO) for possible collaboration
- Team will also follow up with Catherine Lewis
