Array-Based Musical Instrument Design

Introduction

This project challenges users to design a musical instrument that utilizes arrays to store sequences of musical notes. The instrument can be activated through various inputs, such as button presses or pin activations. Users are encouraged to explore different shapes for their instruments, drawing inspiration from real-world musical instruments like guitars or music boxes. The project includes example code for creating melodies and manipulating musical notes using arrays, making it an engaging way to learn programming concepts while fostering creativity in music-making.

Key Features:

• Interactive Learning: Users can create and modify their own musical instruments.
• Hands-On Coding: The project involves coding with the micro:bit to play notes and melodies.
• Creative Design: Encourages users to think about the physical design of their instruments.

Use Cases:

• Educational Settings: Ideal for teaching programming and music concepts in schools.
• Workshops: Can be used in maker spaces or coding camps to engage participants in STEM activities.
