Since last week, the design of our structure has been modified to be more stable.

Over the past week, we have established the final design of how the bells are positioned:


Use of KNex, four different note bells, duct tape
We have connected all four Servos to the Arduino and breadboard:
Each Servo is labeled with the corresponding bell note that it will control

Design Update

The following design adjustments have been made:
  • rather than a flat surface base (such as a piece of cardboard), fasten bells to a K Nex structure
  • AA batteries have been determined to be the best power source unique to this design
