Robots can play Rock Band too!
I decided to turn the Guitar Hero Robot towards Rock Band. The video is playing songs on expert! The results look better than expected, I think the notes may be easier for the sensors to pick up. There is still a lot of dropped notes, which I think can be blamed on all the visual effects strobing across the screen. A more precise sensor may be the solution.
I also modified the sensor rack so each sensor is at a consistent height. This helped eliminate a lot of problems.
I’m very interested in seeing your Arduino code for this. I was inspired by this project and put together my own version over the weekend. I am using the same sensors.
I seem to be having timing and sensitivity issues with reading from the screen. Maybe my code is not as efficient as it could be.
I would love to see the code for this as well.
I have been visiting here frequently to see if the code/how-to are released…
I’m still working on it, but I will send you what I have.
