Ultrasonic Touch Guitar

Aug 2013

The idea of this radical challenge is to use the ultrasonic sensor, touch sensors, and buttons on the NXT to create a guitar. The ultrasonic sensor can control the pitch of the note based on the location of the user's hand, and the touch sensors can control other parameters of the note created. Rock on, friends.
