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!

    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 ;)
