there are few words about this raspberry pi Project, because we have never seen anything like it. Nevertheless, here we are. We are very happy to share this work from the maker known as JupyterJeff on Reddit (or HighQualityFun on YouTube).Using our favorite SBC of his, the Raspberry Pi, he musical robot It can be pushed in with a stroller.

Most of the mechanical parts were manufactured using laser cut plywood. Drumsticks are designed to pivot with a bolt. The laser-cut parts are servo-motorized and some springs give the sticks enough force to make a strong sound when you hit the drum. Use Raspberry Pi 4 with Pi DAC+ for better audio quality.
The Pi uses MIDI/Karaoke files to manipulate music with the help of the Rosegarden DAW. A custom Python script reads the MIDI file during playback and sends instructions to the Polulu server to trigger the drum motors and hit the correct beat.
All in all, this is one groovy Raspberry Pi project and I’m jealous I didn’t get a chance to see it in action. If you want to take a closer look at this impressive Raspberry Pi music robot, visit the original project thread shared. reddit Watch the demo video and hear it in action.
