1. Interactive Xylophonic Keyboard Mini-Mozarts October 12, 2006 Gordon Farmer Michael Johnson Eric Laumann Bryan Marek Philip Moss

2. Brief Review Children’s Music Education Toy –Teach basics of: Music Reading Piano Playing

3. Prototype Capabilities Prototype only needs to provide proof of concept –2 functioning keys –1 functioning slider –Fully integrated embedded intelligence Final Product –At least one octave –16 sliders (4 measures of 4 notes)

4. Status of Design Current primary focus is debugging and furthering computer code Additional focus on finishing CAD model After break begin assembling Upcoming Deadlines 10/12/2006 – Prototype CAD work done 10/13/2006 - all parts ordered 10/27/2006 – Prototype keyboard assembled, four bar assembly in place, xylophone plates placed 11/03/2006 – Sliding notes assembled 11/10/2006 – Electronic interfacing completed

5. Last Week’s Issues –CAD model of prototype –Order necessary parts before Fall Break –Code development for embedded intelligence

6. “Show-Stoppers” Electronic Interfacing

7. Current Issues –CAD model of prototype Multiple components dependent on trade studies –Xylophone plates, solenoids, 4-bar mechanism, potentiometers –Continue developing code for embedded intelligence –Following break, manufacture four bar linkage and assemble other components as they arrive
