Each character in the game has a different pattern on their fretboard. Since we are monitoring the color brightness to detect notes, a fretboard that contains bright colors may throw off our system. It may detect something on the fretboard as a note and attempt to "play" it. Hawke-

Nice job! I also agree with keeping the guitar totally intact. I wonder if you have experimented with trying to tell the difference between a HOPO note and a regular strummed note. I can see you'll have some problems on songs such as Misirlou where alt-strumming is required unless you add a second strumming actuator on the other side of the guitar. It probably wouldn't be difficult to implement. I also noticed you have problems with sustains. Good luck getting 5 stars! I'd give y'all an A! Gig 'em! I enjoyed your video. Nice job!

I'm curious why you used relays to drive the solenoids rather than transistors? I think you could eliminate some lag if you replaced the relays. FTAC 2002 Very impressive work.

I think you absolutely should stay external to the guitar. That's the whole point, right? You've created a robot that "sees" the notes and then plays the guitar ( fantastic job, btw ). It would almost seem like cheating if you just hacked straight into the guitar. More to the point -- if you did everything in software and plugged into the guitar then this wouldn't be a robotics/electronics project, now would it? :) Let the CS majors do it, they don't have anything better to do anyways, LOL I totally disagree with the guys above.

Fantastic!! Keep up the great work, I can't wait to see what Slashbot will be able to do next! I agree with Greg Baz in that a connection straight to the guitar PCB may get you closer to the golden 100% mark. It wouldn't be as cool as the real GH guitar of course; but getting 100% on expert in any song would make a great video :) Great Job guys!! Fantastic!!
