Musical Microbit Casing

myminifactory

The Microbit files are for a piano-themed Microbit + Sensorbit enclosure. This project lets a Microbit play certain piano notes (mid C to high E) based on its tilt. The roll (horizontal tilt) determines the note being played while the pitch (back and forth tilt) plays / stops the sound. Extra Materials: Microbit Code and Demo Video Instructions: 1. Connect a Microbit to a Sensorbit board. 2. Upload the Microbit Code from the above link. 3. Print out the casing. 4. Insert the Microbit into the casing. 5. If you want, make some modifications (e.g., attaching it to a strap). Done!! Aim: UNSD Goal 4: Quality Education Story: I was inspired by a system that allows children with quadriplegia to create drawings using their eye movement. I wanted to create something that makes learning music easier for children with paralysis so they can get exposure to music. I've also tried attaching the Microbit + 3D printed casing to a strap, and hopefully this will let children with paralysis of one arm learn and make their own music too. Perhaps attaching the casing to a headband worn by children with quadriplegia can help them. I think using a 3D printed casing not only protects the children from Sensorbit pins but also adds aesthetic appeal to motivate them to learn how to make music.
