Inspiration

This is a project that we've been wanting to work on a long time, and our love for music and audio devices is what got us into electronics in the first place.

What it does

We have metal strips laid out like a keyboard, and when touched, it produces the corresponding note.

How we built it

We used an Arduino Nano and whatever supplies we had around us, which includes a breadboard, wires, and metal tape.

Challenges we ran into

We had some issues with implementing a communications protocol and the wiring on one of our boards.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud to have a working stylophone.

What we learned

We learned about communications protocols, tuning, and audio outputs.

What's next for Cardboard Stylophone

Our current Cardboard Stylophone only has a range of one octave at a time, and we want to make it possible to expand the range by connecting multiple boards.
