Super Mario played with Three Stepper Motors

Playing music using steppers is lots of fun, we have seen lots of stepper motor music in the past but that Super Mario tune sounds very nice.

"The sound you’re hearing is coming entirely from the motors. The motors are screwed into some pieces of aluminum from an old project to help them resonate.

I’m taking requests for other songs to play. Currently, the data for the song is stored on the Arduino. Plans for implementing a realtime MIDI stream are underway. Eventually I’ll be able to plug in a keyboard and play the motors as though I were playing piano."
