EXPANDED TECHNICAL DETAILS
High-Performance Musical Automation
This advanced musical tool uses an Arduino to help guitarists practice their speed and manage their effects pedals with sub-millisecond precision.
- Optical Picking-Speed Analysis: Uses a high-speed IR break-beam sensor mounted on the guitar. The Arduino measures the frequency of the pick crossing the beam, displaying the current "Notes Per Second" (NPS) on a dedicated display.
- Stomp-Pedal Relays Matrix: Features 4 to 8 foot-switches. The Arduino manages high-quality True-Bypass relays, allowing the guitarist to store "Presets" (e.g., Lead, Clean, Crunch) and switch multiple pedals with a single stomp.
Design
- Fusion 360 Chassis Design: The rugged, ergonomic stomp-box enclosure was custom-designed in Autodesk Fusion 360 and fabricated using 3D-printing or CNC-milling for professional durability.
