Zhichime

智慧风铃

Have you ever imagine that, a wind chime can play melody without wind?

Struck by small flip disc, each tubular bell chime vibrates to beautiful frequencies. Stereo speaker and music box just can't compare with such natural sound journey.

Mechanical parts are housed in a glass dish, which seamlessly integrates with the stylish wind chimes.

Here we present you the smart wind chime "Zhichime", an innovative app-controlled and programable electronic musical instrument.

Innovation Empowerment

The old-timey technology of electromagnetic flip disc rejuvenates when it meets with the Internet of Things (IoT).

After connecting to mobile phone, the wind chime can play whatever melody at your will. Or it plays as it likes during the random mode.

Using the simple coding language, you can try composing a new song. Going from zero to one is not easy, but it's worth it!

List of Commands

The twelve flip discs are numbered 1，2，3，4，5，6，7，8，9，a，b and c respectively

0 represents a pause

Commands	Description
flow	通过flow指令，设置磁片的敲击顺序。每个flow可以设置最多235次敲击/停顿。一共有60个flow，其中flow 1 至 flow 39可以通过编曲来设置。例子：flow 2 = 131400; （磁片1，3，1，4逐一敲击，然后停顿两下）
run	flow设置完成后，可以通过run指令执行。每次run可以执行最多64个flow，并设置不同的速度。例子：run 1 3, 2 4; （首先执行flow 1，速度为3档；然后执行flow 2，速度为4档）速度值可省略，按默认速度档执行。
rand 1	rand 1是随机模式。例子：rand 1 3; （随机磁片逐一敲击，不停重复，速度为3档）速度值可省略，按默认速度档执行。
luck	luck是旋转模式，磁片顺时针逐一敲击，连续多圈，速度慢到快再慢下来，最后停止。例子：luck 3 3; 速度值可省略，按默认速度档执行。
setf	通过setf 1至setf 12指令，设置每个磁片的敲击力度，setf值越大，力度越大。例子：setf 11=13; （把磁片11的敲击力度设置为13。） setf的出厂默认值，每个磁片都是12，需要调整以达到最佳敲击效果。
sett	通过sett指令，设置速度1档的时间值。时间值是每次敲击之间的时长，从1档到10档，1档最慢，10档最快。2档比1档快一倍，3档比2档快一倍，如此类推。例子：sett=3; （把1档的速度值设置为3秒） sett的出厂默认值为2。
seta	通过seta指令，设定默认速度档, 从1档到10档，1档最慢，10档最快。例子：seta=3; （把默认速度档设定为3档）当sett=2；及seta=3；敲击之间的时长=2/2/2=0.5秒。也可以通过Zhichime应用程式主页面，设置速度档。 seta的出厂默认值为3。
stop	磁片停止敲击。
default	恢复以下出厂默认值： sett=2; seta; setf 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/10/11/12=12;
