Ben and Rusty finish creating the foot-controlled guitar strumming device they started in the previous episode. They install the servos, potentiometers, and switches in a custom faceplate that mounts on the guitar, as well as add the final components to the foot pedal. Ben writes some code so the guitar player can control how the pick moves over the strings.

well done. i think the foot pedal requires a bit more thought. it seems like a lot of effort is required to operate it. Add in a piezo pickup under the bridge to amplify the guitar would be a good idea as the servos are a little loud.
well done Ben ..... the smile on his face when he played was worth all the effort......
