🔊💥04: Sound Machine🎵🔔

Build a sound machine that creates a sound for at least 15 seconds. It should run reliably. 

• You can use your solenoid and/or motors, but this is not required. 

• Document your creation process and final piece, including sketches, at least one prototype, photos, and a good quality video of your creation. The video must show your design in operation. Close ups and whole prototype should be included. 

• Collaborative work from groups of up to 4 individuals is encouraged, but the final piece and documentation should reflect and describe the combined efforts of each group member. 

• See the rubric for more guidance!

STRETCH GOALS

• Can you come up with a brand new instrument that has never been seen before?

• Can you team up with other classmates to form a band/ensemble performance?

1. CODE: Upload your .ino code file to your student Google Drive folder, or use a public GitHub repository.

1. • Nicely Documented Code Tips: 

     • add // comments

     • give clear and intentional names to your variables, functions, file, etc., 

     • strive for clear and consistent indentation and spacing

     • Are you able to tell what each section of your code does, if asked? Will future you be able to tell what this code does if you open the file back up again in 5 years? 

2. REPORT: Copy the Documentation Template to your Google Drive folder
   (or make your own from scratch) 

   • Fill with your images, video, text, and links! Don’t forget to link your code and add process pics! 

3. POST: Click the pencil icon in the bottom right ↘  to edit the project page.

   • Copy the example post below. 

   • Replace the images/video with at least 1 "hero" image and/or video of your own. 

     • Make sure that we will have access to your assets. (Use your Google Drive folder!)

   • Replace the text and links with your links. Test them! (People often forget to actually change the links...)

     • If you’re having trouble just let shm know. they are so happy to help!!  ;)
