Group Members

The group work was distributed to follow the strengths of the individual members. Jim Finnigan was responsible for most of the LabVIEW code, while Clay McPheeters and Jeremy Bass worked on a couple of supplementary VIs. Ed Rodriguez built the actual hardware microphone array and the filters for the microphone signals going into the DAQ. In addition, we all got together and tested the hardware and software to make sure it worked. Jeremy and Clay created the poster for the presentation, while all members of the group worked on the Connexions modules. We all spent many hours and exchanged uncountable blank stares trying to understand array theory. Many thanks to Dr. Don H. Johnson for helping us along the way. Dr. Richard Baraniuk also gave us helpful ideas and LabVIEW, which we could never have afforded.
