Ben Heck’s Intel Edison laser harp, part 2

How did the Ben Heck Show team manage to crash an Intel Edison chip? Find out in the assembly of the Laser Harp where Felix, resident Linux Guy, has been handling the Edison module, while Ben and Karen manage the electromechanical bits. Soldering the harp has been exhausting on the team: There are some two dozen wires connected to the lasers and sensors, and Karen, ever attentive to detail, has to painstakingly align each of them individually. Felix has meanwhile taken on a challenge of his own: get the midi soundfonts working on the Edison chip with FluidSynth. The main question is, will they make beautiful music together? Let us know what you think over on the element14 Community, and while you’re there, tell us about your own audio projects.
