Introduction Our final project is a programmable, self-playing xylophone with random melody generation and a pitch detection based interface. From early mechanical devices to todays musical greeting cards, history has seen numerous examples of automated music machines. This project represents a quick, modern take on that tradition with several additional features. We designed and implemented
