Joystick

Almost done with instrument one here's a video, it 's really starting to feel like a playable instrument now!



I now have the joystick on the nunchuck working in real time like the accelerometer, it has a really nice feel to it. Here's the controls and what they do:

  • Touch/Pressure strip (to be combined) triggers the note and changes pitch as you move along it
  • Joystick decides the octave (up octave normal or down octave)
  • Accelerometer changes the rate of duty cycle variation

All I'm waiting for now is a 3 way switch to arrive so you can select the duty cycle, then I'm going to put this instrument together in a (potentially laser cut) plastic box, like in the badly drawn sketch I did before:
