Daniel,

A worthy winner. And, I've put some of these bells on my wish list and hope to get some for my birthday so I can make my own version. If birthday doesn't provide I'll just have to buy them!

Hi Daniel,

This is an awesome project!

Very cool that you're controlling the Arduino via USB serial, and possibly the Pi in future - it makes it useful for the rest of the year too, since it could be used to play alert tunes for all manner of events.

Fantastic project. I see that Lego do now have their own servos but they would be a bit big for your design. There are however loads of 3D printed options.

This is great. It is the sort of off-beat electro-mechanical microprocessory wizardy kind of thing that I really like. Where did you get the bells from as I'm quite keen to have a go at something similar myself.

That's 100% outright fun - a great design and cool video.

Nice little project. The bells have a crisp ring action and the overall effect is quite nice.

Well done!
