Introduction: Simon Game - Xylophone Version

About: Antonio Gomes received a Bachelor’s of Computer Science as well as a Bachelor of Communication and Multimedia Design from Coimbra Polytechnic Institute. He is an inventor of shape changing composites, actuated…

A little game interface I'm making..in essence, it will be the simon game....except much harder and xylophone style :)

(For those who don't know, simon game is the following:

Materials / tools are pretty straight forward...

I used a laser cutter but you can do it manually
Plywood
Acrylic
Arduino UNO
8 Piezo Sensors
8 LEDS

Temporary code has been implemented, missing sound but that will come soon enough

Quick video, day and night

NOTE: Unless you feel comfortably with coding and playing around with different resistor, I would avise to make this in a larger scale!
