Lego motor DUO plays Star Wars: The Imperial March. Enjoy!
Bass: Lego Buggy motor (5292c01)
Baritone: Lego 9V Heavy Mini-Motor (71427c01)
The music is generated with PWM signals of varying frequencies. The same thing that causes the annoying whining noise you may have noticed with Lego Rechargeable Battery Box, SBrick and BuWizz. Guitar Pro tab, Raspberry Pi and Python code needed. Read more in my blog:

  • Okay, hear me out: - Double or tripple the motors. Their response will be slightly different, creating an unison/chorus effect. - Keep everything on a piece of wood as resonance body. - Get hold of a "contact microphone" (probably not the right term for it) to pick up the piece of wood directly - Make multiple recordings, with the motors and mic being in different positions. Since you're sending "notes" from an external app, the timing should be 99% reproducible. Mixing the different tracks would give it some "volume" (not in the sense of loudness, but broadness ... if that makes any sense)
