Master's Thesis

This master’s thesis deals with the modification of an existing Fatar TP9S musical keyboard to replace the original contact system with contactless key position sensing using linear Hall sensors. The work includes the design and optimization of a magnetic circuit, which was verified using magnetostatic simulations in the FEMM 4.2 software. Furthermore, it describes the development of data acquisition hardware and the programming of a control unit with a Raspberry Pi Pico 2 microcontroller for communication via the USB-MIDI interface. The modification also includes the design and realization of mechanical flexible elements for the aftertouch function made of TPU material. The result of the thesis is a fully functional MIDI controller that supports various operating modes, including MIDI Polyphonic Expression, with low average latency.

Process of defence
Při obhajobě student nejprve prezentoval svoji diplomovou práci, následně byly přečteny posudky a student odpovídal na dotazy oponenta. Poté byly členy komise položeny následující otázky: Jak se změnila tuhost oproti původní verzi? Odkud jste vzal geometrii pro dorazy kláves? Obhajoba byla komisí hodnocena jako výborná.
