Interactive-Drumkit

Blog post about this code can be found here

I created a projected image of a drum kit on my wall, made it interactable using copper tape capacitive touch sensors, taped to the wall and read by an Arduino Uno.
The Arduino communicates with a Processing sketch, which plays the sounds and animates the projected image.

Setup:

First I (artfully) covered my wall in copper tape. copper wall Then made wire connectors to the capacitive touch sensors. copper wires

Arduino Code:

The Arduino code simply reads the digital capactitive touch sensors and transfers the data, via serial protocol, to the processing sketch. Arduino Prototype

Processing Sketch:

The processing sketch loads the /Media/drumkit-empty.png image into the background.
When it is sent a serial message that a drum has been hit it illuminates that drum in the output and plays a sample sound.
