Final Project Update

Code is done- I just need to figure out the mechanism to create the clap. Tomorrow I'll be going to a percussion instrument store and try and find some wood blocks. I got a couple of ideas. Sketches are included:

My friend James is helping me with this, he had an automated xylophone type mechanism and the design I thought could apply to my project. Other than that I'm thinking of a stepper-motor with the two wood-blocks I will hopefully find tomorrow.

NEXT big step is learning how to interface arduino with a more powerful stepper. Need to learn that Wednesday. Need to do a lot this week.
