After a lot of wondering how am I going to do this by myself. I found someone who has had a full degree on coding, Lets welcome ISHVINDER SINGH into this dark abyss. Ish took a look at my set up and code and gave me the look of disapproval and explained to me all the flaws with my plan. But it was needed because once we knew what was missing and what needed fixing things started to make a lot more sense. I learnt that jumper wire, which were the ones I was using aren't that reliable and needed to get the proper wires. I also learnt how to cut and strip my own wires. I let Ish deal with the rest of the code, finalizing and cleaning up the mess I have made. The end product was a working paper piano that was more responsive. YES to TEAMWORK!

After showing James Humberstone it actually makes sound, we then discussed ways we can extend it. After that conversation, I thought about making a sampler type situation where if you press certain pictures it will play a sound or even a song. So next step was 1. find a way to code songs 2. Draw pictures 3. How am I going to put it all together?
After a few days I have come up with a plan and have also started drawing stuff. I wanted to include the keyboard but have a box and have the pictures on top of the box so we can have two demonstrations of the use of Arduinos, So after getting some new fancy resistors I FINALLY got it to make some noise. But there were still a lot of fine tuning to go. As you can see in the video there is a lot of delays and limitations so far and I want it to be playable. So off to the drawing board again. But enjoy so broken piano playing! After some time to rethink my project and how it is going to work, I decided to get some professional help and got in touch with Rowena Stewart. We had our virtual meeting and tried to figure out what my issue was and why it wasn't making any sound. We figured it might be the resistors I was using were not high enough and needed to get an 1M ohm resistor instead. So off to Jaycar I go. Also we converted my Block code into written code so that way we can fine tune the code to work a lot better
