CPX Star Wars Piano

CPX Piano

For my sensory intervention project I made a six key piano out of wood and aluminium foil. To start I took an extra plank of wooden fence from my parents house, and used a hand saw to craft pieces of wood. I then spray painted the wooden planks a cleaner shade of brown. The next day I used a hammer, a screw driver, and screws to assemble the housing of the piano. By not screwing the screws in too tight you will be able to easily slide six strips of aluminium foil through the planks.

To get my piano to work I first had to code my CPX. I used the music output blocks. I found the notes needed to play the Star Wars theme and set up the code by clicking the corresponding piano key. When each pin was touched it played a specific music note. I then hooked alligator clips from each pin on my CPX to the back of strips of aluminium foil.
