Arduino-based Guitar Tuner

This was my first college project! It’s pretty funny to look back on it now and see where I started. I put together a simple Arduino guitar tuner, where a mic picked up the string, the Arduino streamed samples to Python, and I used basic FFTs to guess the note. It mostly worked, struggled a bit on low E, but it was the first time I really mashed physics, code, and hardware together into something you could actually use. Gotta start somewhere!
