What it does
Build your own music-loving robot.
Wigl hears notes from any instrument and responds with movements, lights, and special dances! Wigl helps to motivate kids and adults to practice their instrument. Through sequenced musical notes, you can program special dance moves for Wigl. This combination of right brain creativity with left brain logic makes this a unique robot for any family. Wigl has a microphone, a microcontroller (brain), and some motors for movement. Wigl is ALWAYS listening for musical notes and, through some complex math, it can hear individual music notes. When Wigl hears a musical note it knows, it moves and lights up. Specific notes make Wigl move in specific ways. For example, an A note might move Wigl…from crowdsupply.com

Haxophone2022 · github.com · ▲526I built this during Covid. When I released it, some of the parts went out of stock or skyrocketed in price, no longer making this an economic DIY project. Now that things are getting back to almost normal, I thought I'd share it here and request feedback. This is a very niche project for people who like the same things I do: saxophones, Rust, mechanical keyboards and the Raspberry Pi.
