EZ-Key MIDI Guitar Check out this incredible project: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZtLjv3K920 This amazing guitar uses the E-Z Key bluefruit wireless controller from Adafruit, making it a versatile instrument that can be used as a MIDI instrument, video game controller or even DJ controller. You have the freedom to customize and configure your guitar to fit your unique style. The enclosure is 3D printed and you can download the design files from Cults. This six-piece design is optimized for the MakerBot Replicator 2 build plate. The guitar features four arcade buttons, six LED push buttons and a mic used as a level meter. The neo-pixels animate to the sound, adding an extra layer of excitement. The Flora micro-controller powers these components and uses a toggle switch and battery pack. Build Time This project requires 3D printing four large pieces, so be prepared for some time in front of your printer! The total minimum build time is about two days. The four parts will take around sixteen hours to 3D print in total. The most time-consuming part is definitely the 3D printing process. Your skill level will also play a role in determining how challenging this project will be. With seventy-seven solder points, the complete circuitry can seem daunting, but with patience and persistence, you'll be rocking out in no time!
