Inspiration
To build something that stood out from the rest
What it does
An arm will slide along a metal rod with a solenoid on the end, tapping the selected keys one at a time.
what we used
we used an acme screw and nut to move a robotic arm driven by a drill motor, that has two solenoids mounted to it to pluck keys on a xylophone.
Challenges we ran into
We originally struggled sending data from our program to Arduino via Serial Port.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Coming to our first hackathon and building something cool!
What we learned
Embedded C, How to play the xylophone
What's next for Arduinophone
