Some recent projects

hey everyone . I've been busy building some expirements and neglected the forum a bit .. but I did make some videos of the stuff i built! i hope u enjoy them ..

Visual Midi Trigger
This is a combination of C# .Net app, Visual Recognition, Microchip Pic, Midi, and Midi instrument. I made a program that recognizes my finger and when jolted upwards, takes the relative horizontal position and sends that information to the PIC . the Pic sends it to the midi instrument .

K-9 in public
At the aero space museum where our robot builder meetings are held, there was a christmas party. Our robots were invited to spend time with the kids . and K-9 was a pretty big hit . everyone kept asking where the remote control was and the surprise on their face when i told them there isn't one .hehe

PWM Demo
I'm making a project and needed 10 LDR's to trigger 10 LED's . And the LED's need to fade away, not just go out . So the program handles them individually and the fade delay can be altered.

DIY Oscilloscope
I was bored and wondered how hard this would be. So i made it . It has adjustable delay time, sample time, center point, triggers and amplification. It's actually useable .. beware, i swapped the sin and sqr by accident when making the vid .

nice ideas

the DIY oscilloscope was pretty cool, though I've seen programs like that, that use the soundcard as input

in the O-Scope one I think you switched your waves around. You said sine wave and showed a square wave then said square wave and showed a sine wave lol pretty sweet though I liked the LDR and LED thing, you used PWM to handle the fade out?

lol . thanx .. no matter how many times i claim that i'm aware i always get ppl commenting on that .. it says in the you tube description and the original post on here lol . i guess what's what i get for not double checking my work

holy sweet thats awesome

Nice! You just earned yourself some green robots next to your name


Don't forget to do an air guitar!


As for K-9 . . . for some reason it looks more 'real' when its out with people wandering around . . . is it just me? You've inspired me to make my future robots look less like balls of wire and metal . . .

thanx everyone

and admin, thanx for the robots!! i'm totally air guitaring like mad right now .

I have been doing a lot of work with K-9 , but nothing noticeable . I had some circuit boards printed that are universal for me to build more robots faster . I'm gonna throw a quick video up soon about them . I'm switching K-9 over to the new circuit board, but i'm having trouble with the drivetrain because i swapped the servos for DC motors and i'm using a L293D via PWM . I have to get the PWM right to match up the speeds to synchronize his head again ..
