The goal of this project was to have a user input a sequence of notes and have a PIC controlled solenoid sytem hit a xylophone to generate tones. Our automated xylophone operates in two settings -- real time mode and playback mode. In real time mode, the user inputs notes using the keypad and they get played back on the xylophone instantaneously. In playback mode, a user can use the keypad to store over 250 notes including rests to be played back on the xylophone at a later time. |
