LittleBits Broomstick Guitar

Using an Arduino as controller

The LittleBits KORG Synth Kit is a set of LittleBits modules that can be connected into many sound generating circuits. In this project I have used an Arduino UNO cpu to control the synth kit.

The broomstick is a 1 inch diameter dowel, 48 inches long. Attached to the broomstick is a piece of 1 inch PVC pipe that is held in place with a wood screw. 1 inch PVC pipe couplers are Hot glued to the project box and to the mounting plate. The couplers are a tight fit onto the PVC pipe and hold the modules in place. These pieces can be bought at your local hardware store such as HomeDepot or Lowes.
