Hi, I emailed about a week ago, it was just in relation to this piano project, if possible, I would really appreciate a couple of questions being answered. all the best. Adam
I'm looking into doing this too. I noticed that you commented on another video and would like some more info about your project. it looks like you are just using shift registers instead of the PCA3685. Is this correct? Can you provide more detail about the electronics and specific solenoids (looks like you are using 12v) that you are using? How do you play the midi? I was planning on using a raspberry pi to control everything, but I really like how the tablet plays the midi at the same time as the piano. Any detail would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Josh, I am using shift registers but am experimenting with dedicated pwm chips like the PCA3685 to get better control. The shift registers are just not fast enough. I have a youtube short somewhere experimenting with PWM controllers and velocity. This is what will be next , I'm using 24v solenoids the midi is over midi BLE to Arduino pro micro. It can be a bit picky on devices. Good luck with your project. It takes a while to do. Even after you get the electronics right the mechanical part is just as challenging. I also plan to add fiberoptic sensors to the front of the keys for feedback for the micro eventually and possibly for midi recording ( same as the Yamaha disklaviers) Shout out if you have any more questions

Duuuuuuuude.....that was sick!
That's a lot of soldering, but the effect is awesome :)
Nice fume extractor too.
Thanks the fume extractor was 3d printed :)

MAN you work fast !
:)
🤣 it took me almost a full day

Hi Adam, I'll have a look out for your message this weekend. I get a lot of email and it takes quite some time to get through it all. Cheers
