Hey everybody! On 11/18, Eric and Brett went to talk to one of the machinists at UML to see if it was possible to cut a close-to-perfect 7 inch diameter circle out of the drum pad. We will be meeting with him tomorrow again with the drum pads and rims on hand to see if anything can be done. if not, we will just have to tin-snip them as close as possible to fit them into the drum rims.
Also on the 17th, Vlad and Brett went to Home Depot real quick to grab 3" long 1/4-20 screws and lock nuts, along with more contact cement to connect more of the project.
Brett also took the drum set home, set it up and (with a little help from dad) got all of the holes drilled for the drum pad rims. This included the holes in the rims as well as in the PVC structure to connect them. We also drilled a smaller hole within the middle of each drum rim so the wires of the piezo could exit the rim, enter the PVC piping, and run to the Arduino with minimal wires showing.
I believe that is all for now, more updates to come soon. Take it easy everyone.
