Ludwig (Winner and Finalist of Hack The North 2024, Canada's biggest hackathon!)

Ludwig is a robotic piano player that can first read sheet music then convert it into MIDI data that can then be played on the piano using physical motors with fingers.

We'll update more about this repo later, but here's the entire tech involved

Software: Python3 with OpenCV

Hardware: Raspberry Pi3 with a bunch of Servomotors and a servomotor module.

The basic concept behind the thing is that once we get the MIDI, we convert them into signals that then assign the fingerings based on where the leftmost finger is on the piano keyboard.
