The "ELECTRONIC XYLOPHONE"
Intention
My aim for the final assingment was to build something which is easy to use and had the potential to entertain. So i decided to build something that I, or others, could play with and have fun. Hence the idea of the electronic xylophone was created. Let me use this platform to help you create your own electronic xylophone and feel the excitment I felt.
Items used
- 2 xylophones
- some wire
- 2 batteries
- 2 switches
- 4 or more seesaws
- a carriage with wheels
- Patience
- and a lot of much time
Instructions
STEP 1
You have to know your end goal, draw it, feel it.
STEP 2
You need some weights or rubber bands at the ends of the seesaws, for better movement. The carriage has to be shaped in such a way,that it can travel underneath the seesaws to push them up.
STEP 3
Finding the most suitable manner of propulsion for your carriage
I chose two separate motors that had two separate switches, because the movement of the carriage was more stable than with a one motor construction.
If you are interested to see how I managed with the task just follow this link.
I wish you the best of luck and have fun with the " ELECTRONIC XYLOPHONE".
