MIDI Controlled Robot Lyre with CircuitPython
What they don’t tell you about starting a band is that the hardest part is organizing the people. So, why not skip that step and build a bunch of MIDI controlled robots to play music with?
In this project, you’ll mount servo motors over the strings of a lyre. The servos will pluck those strings when they receive MIDI NoteOn messages via a Feather RP2040 running CircuitPython. You can control the lyre with an eternal MIDI controller or by sending MIDI out from your favorite DAW program.
