Cornell University microcontroller projects
May 6, 2008 Microcontrollers
Cornell University students published their end of year projects for ECE 4760 - Designing with microcontrollers. Four of the first 5 listed on the page have something to do with musical instruments and one mimics the game Guitar Hero but with a recorder.
Check out their projects and videos here. The archive goes back 9 years to 1999.
One of the projects is a set of Air Drums which would definitely come in handy if you’re trying to play Rock Band at night (or if you’re trying to win the ultimate Air Band competition). Here’s a video of the drums in action:
It is a bit laggy but with some fancier code and optimization I’m sure the response time can be improved.

hello, i am a developer in the field of Embeded System Developing, in China. I watched this video, your set is very nice. i am curious about what micro controller you used. And what sensor you used, when you knocked on the tickets, what sensor fixed on the ticket. I am so interested in this. Thank you very much.

Hi Alex,
You will have to try to contact the actual developers (the students) from Cornell about their projects. On the site I link to, http://instruct1.cit.cornell.edu/courses/ee476/FinalProjects/, you can find some technical documentation on the projects.
I hope this helps.
