The First Approach

We worked collaboratively on the first design of the xylophone. We had to solder the parts to the circuit board and reprogram the keys.

After we tested one key, we soldered the rest of the keys to the circuit board.

The Second Approach

We worked on the design and re-test the resistance of graphite strip we were making for the QPROX sliders, which should be 60-150k for the 12 inches. We first tested it successfully, but this week, during production, we were getting more or less the 100k required, which could have been because of the type of pencil we were using, so we took a multi-meter to the Art Store and found a photographic tape and Seraphil paper, a carbon graphite paper that architects use. We opted for the photographic tape, since it gave us about 100k.

We cut and polished all the tubes and vellum for the inside of the cylinder. That is where we plan to use the photographic tape to make that the QPROX slider sensor.

We also started to solder the lights in series to make it look like "Rope Light." We used ribbon as its structure.
