This coming Saturday (11th Feb 2017 at 3pm) in Sydney, Australia I will be giving a demo of Makeblock’s MusicBot at ozBerry. The location is ThinkSpace at Sydney University, City Road. I will show the original version, how I re-compiled the Arduino software and created a node-red version of the controller on my PC. My version includes both note pitches and note durations to represent a melody. I will also demo a reconstruction of the world’s first performance of music on a computer. I will use an Arduino computer using electronic modules similar to neutron and software similar to the original version. The original performance occurred in Sydney University just 200 metres from where ozBerry meets and occurred in 1951. ozBerry is Australia’s largest makerspace group with over 1700 members and meets every month at Sydney University.
