In the past, many ideas are birth forth through innovation, designs and significant budget poured in to develop new and cool products to improve life and change the way people live. In the rapid development of technology in the world today, processors and computers are getting faster and cheaper. Thus it is now easier for any one to develop new product with limited budget. In this project we will be using MyDAQ, a type of embedded system, which basically operate as computer system used for a particular purpose. The objective of this project is to use a type of embedded system call myDAQ to create something cool and fun. It will be a platform for a person who wants to do something that he can only visualize but not put into place due to the complexity and limitation of their knowledge and skill set In this project, I will be using myDAQ to create an air guitar that enable to user to create music without a real guitar. I will be using theory of circuit to link the control to the software as well as an accelerometer that detects movement, and transmit information to the computer. The success of it could give a rise to the start of virtual musical instrument.
