For my last project, I wanted to create an altered idea of a drum, again using Ikea parts. My idea behind this project was to be able to create a consistent rhythm with the tools tapping each other. So I decided to use a motor hooked up to an arduino that spins when pressing a switch. Then, have Ikea tools attached to the top of the motor (similar to a propeller). I built a casing to hold the motor, and a box for the propeller tools to spin against. As the motor spins the tools tap against the box, created a beat, or more of a constant rhythm similar to a metronome.
The problem I ran into, is that I was unable to figure out how to program the motor to spin at a slow enough speed. So the beat is currently too fast.
