How to build an Air Guitar with Arduino, aka the AIRduino Guitar

Step 2 Shopping List

Here is a list of what you need to build your own AIRduino Guitar:

1. Wires: unfortunately a lot for this prototype version. They have been used to connect the two gloves and the Arduino parts together. Feel free to improve this part of the design by making it wireless!

2. Accelerometer: used in the stick in your right hand to detect the shaking. We used a three-axis accellerometer, but a one-axis is enough

3. Ultrasonic sensor: used to measure the distance between both hands of the player, we used Parallax #28015

4. Conductive and Stretch fabric: to build the glove,

5. Arduino: the core of the Guitar that handles everything. An Arduino Diecimila works fine.

6. Potentiometers: to adjust some settings, A potentiometer with a max of anything from 1KOhm-1MOhm is ok.

7. Hot melt glue: a convenient way to hold things together,

8. 3.5 mm female jack: used for the audio output,

9. Classic electronic stuff: Resistors (10k), capacitor(10uF), LEDs and some kind of power supply for the arduino. (A 9V battery is just fine).
