Professor's feedback

Rich said we should 3D print the mechanism to connect the servos to the tuning pegs.
Stepping motor - like an AC motor to control position but rotates fully
Use stepper motor to tune it
Driver - sends control to servo

We will need more power
Tuning requires a lot of power, it'd need to be very fast.

Also need something to hold the instrument down and a lot of power.
3d print an adapter to the axle (not duct tape to attach)
Try with a servo first.

Milestone
for the mechanism motor to tune a string to some extent.
one note tuning. control of notes


We will also be using this chart for the Teensy to connect it to the instrument:

Nomina holding the latest version of our project The team's ukulele project now has functioning parts.  Some problems that occurred were the stepper motor not strong enough to rotate the pegs to its tighter position. We fixed that by reducing the stepper motor speed. We have attached all the stepper motors onto the board. Here are two videos of our project in motion: Video1 of our progress Video2 Since we are able to control all four stepper motors, we have decided to strum with one servo instead of picking each string with two servos. We could play a chord and strum. We have also abandoned the old broken bridge because it failed us. We have replaced it with a more sturdier box around the ukulele. Out with the old
