Development of the Computer Controlled Music Box

摘要

The conventional music box can only play a few tunes, which have limited length. Therefore, it is required to propose a new music box to generate further number of tunes. In this study, a computer controlled mechanism is designed to run and control the music box. This system is consisted of a cylindrical gear and piezoelectric actuators. The experimental results show that the designed system has a good performance in producing tunes.
