Story

The project englobes concepts from music theory, electronics and biology. Anything you see in this video/project is relatively easily doable. I would advise getting something better than the AD620 and eventually better electrodes too. Those are Ag/Cl non-instrusive but led to a lot of noise. Finally, i recommend getting plants that are capable of movement like carnivorous plants. Those will yield much better results as their movements are electric impulses.

The code is included in the video for the most part, feel free to send me DMs or comment for any additional information.

As for the scientific correctness of it, it's not completely fine. I've had a lot of noise and problems with the amplifier, if you have any tips regarding that, I'll take them too.

Thanks a lot
