Frameless MIDI Laser Harp

computer_engineer over 9 years ago

Hey guyes. I'm computer engineering student, last year before masters degree. I'm watching your show for a while, and I really really enjoy every second of your every episode. Love the humor image I have an idea about your (hope so) future project. A frameless MIDI Laser Harp! image I built one for my bachelors degree project, but not with Galvanometer, its with the stepper motor. I dare you to build one with Galvos image

 

Here are some pictures of my project! And yeah, it works image

 

 

Greetings from rainy Croatia!

Ivan

    Hi Karen, thanks for your answer Sry, i didnt see that I didnt come up with pictures with a sensor. I used the LDR sensors connected in series. The main principle for detecting broken beams is TIME or…

    I've been learning ukulele and guitar lately. Maybe not too dissimilar to a harp? And I have enough wings in my costume box that we can all have a pair. More fairy than angel, though.

    That sounds like a really neat idea and build! Could you provide more information about your build? I can't quite make out how it works from the pictures. Is it like a theremin where the sound varies depending on the distance of where the beam is broken/reflected?

    The last time I looked my guitar only had six strings and that is proving hard enough...  image

    Plenty of opportunity here I suspect for angels with wings, devils with tridents, puffs of smoke catching the laser beams, almighty voiceovers, regrettable acting, etc... image

    Sounds like a hair metal band music video. Maybe I'll have to pull some long blonde hair out of my wig box for Ben.

    Cmooon. That would be awesoooome image  \m/

    Yeah, especially long hair for Ben, drums for Felix, and the Bass for Alyson. You should be something like a "Makers Slipknot", or SleepNot image

     

     

    There is nothing regrettable in their acting image
