Objective

Automate musical performance using a mechanically actuated percussion system.

Acoustics

Calculated resonant frequencies to determine tuned-pipe lengths for specific musical notes.

Controls

Used Arduino and C to coordinate the system and integrated stepper motors with custom driver logic.

Mechanical function

Controlled striking and damping to produce repeatable tonal output.
