Lego Guitar (3 simple songs demonstrated)
Ғылым және технология
This is a Lego Mindstorms EV3 guitar. It generates sounds based on 12 fret positions and 5 buttons. Sound comes from the EV3 Brick (95646) internal speaker. Fret position is measured by EV3 Ultrasonic Sensor (95652). The guitar can be used as a solo guitar, rock guitar and bass guitar with different EV3 programs. Built completely from Lego parts. Enjoy!

It sounds like the sensor value is bucketed/quantized before pitch generation, so sensor inaccuracies are probably smoothed out

Lego featured this kind of thing as an alt build in this exact Mindstorms set (it was called EL3CTRIC GUITAR), but it used the included infrared sensor for measuring frets instead of the ultrasonic sensor you had to get separately

I was about to mention this, I was sure I remembered making it myself with the nxt 2, but I wasn't sure if I looked up fan instructions or it was just an alt build.
My father is both a guitarist and a Lego enthusiast. Or really, just a building things enthusiast. He used to apply all the decals for me when I was too young to be interested in getting them on right. Anyway. I sent this to him. Thanks for your great content!!

I think it seems more accurate because he uses discrete intervals for the notes, meaning he only has to be within a certain range of distance and the note will always be produced. Even if the sensor would not be that accurate, doing this will probably still make it work. It of course might be / is very accurate I'm not trying to prove you wrong or anything ;)

I used to make guitars from lego, when I was a kid. Later on I learned to play guitar in my teens. I've been playing guitar for 30+ years and still love LEGO technic and guitars. This video is all about it. 👍

truely one of the best singles by james hetfield
I really like the Instructions.
Evrything coming from this channel is gold, thx for uploading 😀
Well done, looks fun! I was almost expecting you to play Through the Fire and the Flames. :D
More impressed by his dedication that he learned to play music. I love you bro, your are emotion for me.
Absolutely rad dude🤟 Rock on!
FINALLY A BRICK EXPERIMENT CHANNEL VID
Amazing work, so good, love the videos, just the best lego channel. Keep it up!
Some people just dont think like others... Tgis was amazing
I’m glad you played it first instead of making a 10 minute video of how to build it and then playing it for 30 seconds like some other channels do
I almost died when Smoke On The Water came on, I was definitely not expecting that!
Every time you upload, I see you pushing the boundaries further and further when it comes to what most people consider possible with Legos. That's truly what engineering is all about. Keep up this fun and fulfilling hobby, you're doing awesome stuff!
An amazing Christmas gift!!
As a guitarist and a somewhat fan of this channel, this was awesome!
Amazing, Absolutely amazing!!
Thats so cool! Good job!
This is pretty wild, and I think the idea has a lot of potential, especially for a Lego bass.
I love this idea. The very thought of using LEGO to make a playable musical instrument is Wonderful and exactly the sort of thing LEGO wants people to do.
Amazing! Sound very good!!!
What a cute little idea, clever too.
That's insane, dude! :D
I am very impressed by countless builds done with Lego, but I think this one stands out more from the rest, I mean, you created an instrument, what's not to be impressed, my contratulations, you deserve them all
Happy to see 0 3 5 make an appearance. Great work!
Amazing! i got a qustion though, can you play every string at once?
wow this is amazing. i never had any technic sets my whole life. im just now getting into a little bit of programming. being a long time guitarist this makes me want to be an engineer lol
The ultimate gear to practice ja.. Anyways really good build it looks really good you did a really good job making it work and stuff

I had déjà vu just before the second tune. In my head I could hear the bass line to Smoke. Freaky.
Really nice i have also builded it and installed the programm 😁
Oh this is amazing
PURE GENIUS
Great build. Just one suggestion, if you end up making a second version, make it have 12 notes so it has a full octave. Still an amazing build tho
AWESOME!!!!!
bro i play guitar and LOVE lego this is a beutiful thing but theyve made ACTUAL lego guitars with metal strings before to. but still this is AMAZING!
