Let's teach Arduino some drum lessons! We're using an Arduino, a servo motor and a sound sensor.

HARDWARE LIST

1 DFRobot Bluno M3

1 Adafruit Microphone Sound Sensor KY-038 Module

1 SG90 Micro-servo motor

1 LED (generic)

1 Resistor 220 ohm

1 Jumper wires (generic)

Software apps and online services

Arduino IDE

Hand tools and fabrication machines

Hot glue gun (generic)

Story

We are going to give Arduino some drum lessons.

Everything is nicely explained in the video below.

Connect all components according to the diagram at the bottom of this page.

PAY ATTENTION:

The video uses a Bluno M3 from DFRobot, but you can ALSO create the project using ANOTHER ARDUINO BOARD such as an ARDUINO UNO. You just need to use a different library in the code (see comment).
