NEW GUIDE: Robotic Xylophone with Adafruit Grand Central M4 #adafruit #GrandCentral #CircuitPython
This guide shows how to build a musical Robotic Xylophone which uses a series of miniature solenoids to tap out melodies on a toy xylophone.
The Adafruit Grand Central M4 controls each of eight solenoids using CircuitPython, one of the fastest growing programming languages, specifically designed to simplify experimenting and learning.
This guide demonstrates how to solder and assemble your own robotic xylophone rig, and how create your own melodies in CircuitPython.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
