For this week, we finally finished our last technical design. We switched out the original 9 volt battery, in order to avoid using resistors, and keep a simple design. Mallots will be attached to each servo or actuator, in order to produce the sound on the Xylophone. We will do this by programming the servos to turn down to hit the Xylophone in the style of "Carol of the Bells."
All the components will be powered through two AA batteries, because the max voltage most servos could get is about 5v. Our original 9v would not have worked with most servos without a resistor, thus we decided to change what voltage we would us.
The musical range of the is within 5 notes: the highest being G to our lowest being C.
