== Introduction ==
This page is a tutorial for making a stylophone using a Makerspace stylophone kit. A stylophone is an analog electronic instrument invented in 1967 by Brian Jarvis. It is similar to an electronic keyboard but a stylus is used to “press” the keys rather than the keys being physically pressed. When a key is “pressed” a circuit is completed that results in a note being played.

Electronic projects can seem intimidating especially if your new to them, but do not worry you can do it! There are details in this tutorial that I have included for people familiar with electronics, but it is doable to make a stylophone without understanding them. The big picture to focus on is that the goal is to put electronic components onto a [https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/pcb-basics/all printed circuit board] (PCB) to create the circuitry for the stylophone. The PCB has "through holes" that the components can be put through, and the components are connected by "traces", which are just pieces of copper embedded in the circuit board. Below is an image of the Makerspace stylophone PCB without any components placed on:

Components are placed on the PCB by putting them into the holes and [https://www.techspray.com/ultimate-guide-to-electronic-soldering soldering] them into place. Below is an image of the Makerspace stylophone with components soldered on:

== Key Parts of the Circuit ==
The circuit for the Makerspace stylophone is composed of four major portions. A voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), a resistor ladder, buffer, and an audio amplification circuit:

* VCO - this portion of the circuit outputs an oscillating electrical signal whose frequency depends on the voltage at the input. By varying the voltage specific frequencies, and hence notes, can be played.
* Resistor ladder - this portion of the circuit is a series of resistors that sets the voltage that is inputted to the VCO, therefore setting the note played by each key
* Buffer - isolates the VCO circuit from the resistor ladder circuit.
* Audio amplification - this portion of the circuit takes the oscillating output from the VCO and amplifies it so that the signal can be sent to a speaker and converted to sound.

At the heart of a stylophone is a type of circuit known as a voltage controlled oscillator, or VCO for short. A VCO is a type of circuit that outputs an oscillating electrical signal whose frequency depends on the voltage at the input. In a stylophone a VCO is used to create an oscillating signal that is amplified and outputted to a speaker resulting in a sound of a specific frequency being played. The frequency of the sound depends on the voltage input to the VCO. The input voltage to the VCO is determined by a series of voltage dividers that are selected using the stylus.

== Key Parts of the Circuit ==
The circuit for the Makerspace stylophone is composed of four major portions. A voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), a resistor ladder, buffer, and an audio amplification circuit:

* VCO - this portion of the circuit outputs an oscillating electrical signal whose frequency depends on the voltage at the input. By varying the voltage specific frequencies, and hence notes, can be played.
* Resistor ladder - this portion of the circuit is a series of resistors that sets the voltage that is inputted to the VCO, therefore setting the note played by each key
* Buffer - isolates the VCO circuit from the resistor ladder circuit.
* Audio amplification - this portion of the circuit takes the oscillating output from the VCO and amplifies it so that the signal can be sent to a speaker and converted to sound.

Below is an image of the

At the heart of a stylophone is a type of circuit known as a voltage controlled oscillator, or VCO for short. A VCO is a type of circuit that outputs an oscillating electrical signal whose frequency depends on the voltage at the input. In a stylophone a VCO is used to create an oscillating signal that is amplified and outputted to a speaker resulting in a sound of a specific frequency being played. The frequency of the sound depends on the voltage input to the VCO. The input voltage to the VCO is determined by a series of voltage dividers that are selected using the stylus.

== Materials ==

The Makerspace stylophone is an electronic circuit primarily composed of three types of analog electrical components: resistors, capacitors, transistors, and op-amps. On the circuit board most components are labelled with a name. Below is a list of components needed to build each portion of the stylophone as well as their names on the circuit board (if applicable).

== Introduction ==
This page is a tutorial for making a stylophone using a Makerspace stylophone kit. A stylophone is an analog electronic instrument invented in 1967 by Brian Jarvis. It is similar to an electronic keyboard but a stylus is used to “press” the keys rather than the keys being physically pressed. When a key is “pressed” a circuit is completed that results in a note being played.

Galambosa:

The Ender 3 printers are the most convenient 3d printers in the Makerspace since it is possible to print from the Makerspace computer directly (no need to transfer your prints to usb sticks or sd cards).
===Materials===
*[[Filament deposition modeling printer]]
*1.75mm input filaments

*Range of different materials including:
**Default : '''PLA''' because of it's combination of cost, printability, strength, and environmental friendliness
**'''PETG''': Durable and weatherable, it's ideal for outdoor or wet uses.
**'''ABS'''
**'''Wood'''
===Preparing your print===
In order to turn a 3D model into a 3D print, we have to use a program called a ''slicer'' to create a set of instructions (called GCode) that tells the printer how to make the object.

To create this GCode file for the Ender, the program [https://www.prusa3d.com/prusaslicer/ PrusaSlicer] should be used. This program can be found on the computers in the Makerspace.[[File:Prusa app.png|thumb|Icon for the Prusa app. It can be found in the upper right-hand corner of the Makerspace desktop.]]To open your 3D model in PrusaSlicer, open the application, and select
File > Import > Import STL/OBJ/AMF/3MF...
You can also drag the 3D model file in to PrusaSlicer. Alternatively, if you generated your file in Fusion 360, you can also export your file directly to a slicer by selecting File > 3D Print in Fusion 360. If you want to print multiple models at once, repeat this process for each model you wish to use.[[File:Opened file.png|thumb|Once the file has been loaded in to the PrusaSlicer, the 3D model will appear on the virtual print bed. From here you will be able to select print setting and manipulate the model.]]Once you have your 3D model loaded in to PrusaSlicer, you can click it to select it. You can change the model's location on the print bed by dragging it. For more transformation options, you can use the left icon bar. From top to bottom, these icons allow you to:
#Translate your model along the X, Y, and Z axes
#Scale the size of your model
#Rotate your model
#Place a specific face of your model down on the print bed
#Split your model along a plane
#Paint on where to enforce or block supports for your model (not necessary in most cases)
#Paint on where to enforce or block seams for your model (not necessary in most cases)

You can select what settings you want to use for your print in the option bar on the right hand side.
====Print Settings====
Here is where you select the [https://all3dp.com/2/3d-printer-layer-height-how-much-does-it-matter/ layer height] and speed for your print. The layer height is the height of each layer of filament that is deposited for your print. The shorter the layer height, the longer the print will take, however a smaller layer height will result in finer detail in the print, which may be preferable for more natural shapes. The speed impacts how precisely the filament is deposited in a given layer. A slower speed may be important for prints with rugged shapes many fine details. The standard choice for our Ender-3 printers is '''0.20mm NORMAL'''.
====Filament====
Here is where you select the type of material you are printing with, which you determined in the '''Materials''' section above. Make sure you select the correct material so that the printer preheats to the correct temperatures in order to be able to properly deposit the material of the print. The standard choice for the Ender-3 printer is '''Generic PLA'''.
====Printer====
In the printer selection drop down menu, select one of the Ender-3 printers. Make sure that the printer you have selected is ready print In addition check that the printer you have selected is in the Physical printers section of the drop down menu.

====Supports====
[https://all3dp.com/1/3d-printing-support-structures/ Supports] are important to use to ensure that the print material can be properly deposited. Select "'''Everywhere'''" in the supports menu so that the slicer will generate supports as necessary to accurately print your model.
====Infill====
[https://all3dp.com/2/infill-3d-printing-what-it-means-and-how-to-use-it/ Infill] refers to the amount of material used to fill the space between walls of your print. A higher percent infill will correspond to a heavier final print, however will also be stronger. A larger percent infill also corresponds to a longer print time The standard choice for our Ender-3 printers is '''20%'''.

Once you are satisfied with the settings for your print, select the "'''Slice Now'''" button at the bottom right of the window. This will generate and show you a preview of a .gcode file which will be interpreted by the 3D printer. The bottom right of the window will not display information about your print, such as the amount of filament it will use and how long the print will take. Make sure to take a moment to log the amount of filament you will use at the check-in station.
===Starting your print===
Before starting your print check that the printer you have selected is idle and not printing. Also it is good to check whether there is enough filament to finish the print. On the side of the filament spool there is a drawing that can be used to estimate the amount of filament left on the spool in grams. This number can be compared to Used Filament (g) found in the Sliced Info section in the bottom right of PrusaSlicer.

Now that we have verified the printer is ready to print, we can send to the printer using PrusaSlicer. In the bottom right corner click the button with an image of a G on it that is located right next to the "'''Export G-code'''" button. In the menu that subsequently opens up, click "'''Upload and Print'''."
