Rough Sketch

-Sound is produced via the solenoid hitting the bells. The bells will be horizontally help up with K'nex so that the solenoids can hit the sides of the bells.
-Sound will be controlled via the code produced from the solenoid.
-The components are all powered by the 12 volt battery.
-The musical range of the instruments will be provided by the bells. The range of the music will be dependent on the apparatus hitting the bell. Two will be hit by metal, two by a mallet, and two by a wooden rod to create different ranges of sound.

Bread Board Testing

Messing with a Solenoid and the bread board in class.

Mock Design - Subject to change

This is a mock sketch of our idea for a self playing bell system. The design is subject to change depending on new information we learn about motors and the Arduino software.

This is a video from class of the group experimenting with servo speeds.

Objective

Our goal as a group is to use roughly 6 servos powered by Arduino to create an automatic bell choir.
