Building the DeepNote™ Guitar Hero Bot: Stage 2

http://www.mechanizedrock.com

Our board is now equipped to sense three notes simultaneously and debug to corresponding LEDs. Using a microprocessor, information for each note will be analyzed, given time to reach the note bar at the bottom of the screen, and will then be played via connections to the guitar's internal button/strum locations.

sooo, im 14, im wanting to go into computing/engieneering... any tips on getting into a career at some stage?

[sciguy14]

College applications are tough now, so it's just really important that you make yourself standout. Make sure the college you are applying to knows that you will be a good engineer.

so, what would i need to make one of these as a project?

[sciguy14]

Start by opening up the guitar and using a multimeter to find what connections result in button presses. Then move on to using a parallax propeller chip to turn lights on an off based on input from a photosensor.

where can i get this equipment?, would you write a small guide?, im sure many people will be very interested, also, how is the current one coming along?

[sciguy14]

go watch the newer videos. The bot is complete.

As for the guide, we may release a brief tutorial, but it may not be for a while. (after all, we are in college)
