Automatic Recorder Player

I made a machine to automatically play the recorder as my high school capstone project. This project presented several challenges, namely in the integration of all moving parts into a working system

This project was successfully able to play an excerpt from a virtuoso piece at a high bpm.

Flight of the Bumblebee @ 300 bpm at bottom of page

Solenoids actuators to cover/uncover holes on the recorder. Allowed for extremely quick response times and adjustable holding power

Arduino + some Mosfets to drive solenoids

Flyback diodes added for inductive kickback from solenoids

Side view of solenoids for actuation + concave/convex pads

Bottom hole assembly for covering/partially covering/uncovering

Air mattress pump + adapter for constant air supply.

Air mattress pump was returned to functionality after completion of project.
