    John Devens presents the final design review of his automated guitar project. The original goal was to make the guitar play the song "She Talks to Angels" but the final goal was scaled back to making it strum and fret chords. While the guitar can now strum and fret chords, the song is not recognizable and robotic guitars do not compare to real human playing. For next steps, John plans to improve the guitar's ability to play by cleaning components, strengthening parts, using better materials, and potentially adding a computer for control as well as make a wooden man hold the guitar to complete the robotic image.

    Final Design Review :

    Automated Guitar
    John Devens
    Overview
    Original Goal:
    Make a guitar play She Talks to
    Angels
    Final Goal:
    Make a guitar strum and fret
    Final delivery:
    Robotic guitars do not compare to the
    real thing
    Cost:
    $250+
    Functional Goals Met:
    Base (Make a farce of the spectacle):
    100%
    Upper Level (Make the guitar actually
    play): 50%
    Fires started: 3
    (Last one burnt through the high E string)
    Highlights: The Dreadnought Won
    Best Part:
    Solenoids trigger,
    servo spins
    Song is not
    recognizable
    Chords are fretted
    but not played
    Next Steps
    Make the guitar play
    o Clean the solenoids
    o Strengthen pick arm
    o Get a higher-torque servo
    o Use nylon strings
    o Get softer springs for the solenoids
    o Replace Arduino with computer
    o Attach mute solenoid
    Make my wooden man hold the guitar
    o Make him out of metal to further robotic image
