Hello,
For a long time I have thought about learning to code.
Picaxe and Blockly look like the entry level for me.
It has been frustrating that among all the files and pages on the internet, this doesn't seem to be available.
I need someone to point me to some step by step basics to code the PICAXE using Blockly.
This is the project:
A hammered dulcimer has 35 notes (70 strings- two per note).
A LED is mounted under each set of strings. The first note to be played will light the first LED when the Picaxe is loaded. When that note is struck with a hammer, it will go out and the second LED will light.
By striking the notes one by one the LEDs will light and go out in order. So an inexperienced player can play a tune.
Input: A mike sensor that momentarily goes high with a sharp sound.(The hammer striking a note)
Output: 35 LEDs.
This should be a piece of cake for a Picaxe micro!
Thanks in advance for your help! Gramps.
