Episode 18: The Self Playing Harmonica

Step 4Fine Tuning

Fine Tuning
You need to make sure the vacuum nozzle is close enough to the harmonica to make a noise, yet far enough that it wont attach itself to the harmonica and disrupt the printer. Again, you'll have to experiment with the vacuum nozzle, printer, and harmonica that you have to get results.

Once everything is in place, the real fun part begins!

Try printing a few random images to see what sounds the Self Playing Harmonica will play.

Once you get a feel for the device, try "drawing a song" for it to play.

If I was more musically inclined I would have developed this further, but you can see in the picture the song that I drew. Watch the video in the first and last step to see the Self Playing Harmonica in action and hear what this song sounds like!

Note: I had to cut a piece of Printer Paper in half, so that the printer would still print and that the paper wouldn't interfere with the vacuum and the harmonica.
