Breath Controlled Guitar Hero Kick Pedal

blow

[Ben Heck] the uber modder has posted a new project. He has made a breath controlled kick pedal for all of the Guitar Hero style games. Though the tutorial focuses on Guitar Hero World Tour, he does explain how it could be done for Rock Band at the end. This is intended for someone in a wheelchair who couldn’t actually use the kick pedal and needed their hands free to play the rest of the drums. He took apart the kick pedal that came with it to get the piezoelectric switch out of it. Then, he made a little chamber and placed the switch on a diaphragm at one end. When you blow, the diaphragm moves and triggers the switch. Pretty simple really. There is a video available of [Ben] trying it out as well.

  1. Totally cool modification and I don’t care what the simpleton who’s name rhymes with “flake” has to say about people with lower limb disabilities not being able to rock out like people with working feet.

    “YES THEY CAN” and it would be interesting to ask “flake’s” wife or girlfriend how well he is able to rock out with the other appendage that hangs out with his working legs. We would most likely find it doesn’t work any better than his brain.

    GET A JOB! DUDE.

  2. I wonder if he’s done anything to prevent mold growth in the breath tube? The ever-present moisture from breathing into it will cause mold growth within the first week’s use.

    Hopefully it can be taken apart for cleaning easily. Beyond that, good hack, Heck.

  3. these have to be some of the funniest comments ever.
    give jake a break. he probably diddnt even read that part. he just said its useless everything else was a joke posted by somebody else. Am i a terrible person because i want one, just because i think it will make the game easier?
