Description
Analyzing motion and light students can code their air guitar to play certain tones. Students build the guitar using cardboard and other decorative items, then program it with MakeCode. Light, Acceleration and Sound code can be customized.
We modified the code provided by Adafruit and Makecode to make our own inputs and outputs.
