Computer-controlled 'singing motor' - 2nd Video

[SabianDarkWolf]

you guys are amazing! how old are you? im not that tech savvy, so i really dont know how things work, but everything is awesome :3

[DavidEwin]

lol man, your epic. u wrote a program that plays music, which is awesome, then u made it only play through the pc speaker, then you made it play through a MOTOR?!?!? WHAT?!?!? Well done. Very impressed.

[SomethingUnreal]

You understood correctly.

I'm glad you like it! =)

Haha, I do this kind of strange thing from time to time when I'm bored. xD

[DevotedAnimeSharer]

Thats really amazing. Great job making this, can't wait to hear more stuff you make on this.

[Fedda106]

Ah that beeping noise uses the built in speaker that only beeps when you do something you're not supposed to? :P

And try to tape the motor to a window and use a laptop to play a song, the vibration will turn the window into a speaker itself.. Would have been fun to see if it works

[Habbmix]

dude, you have to train me, you are a pure genuis, your like a jimmy neturon that i thought will never be real, dude you can teach kids like me, i like making things to, so far all i make is eletric card board paper bullet gun, remote control air plane and a remote control boat

[Babungus]

Madness.

[addeson]

where can i get that program??

[SomethingUnreal]

It's a mod of my Bleeper Music Maker program, which you can find on my blog (check my profile for the link). You can use it to make sound out of the internal system speaker and out of your 'normal' soundcard speakers with just the program, but it was kind of a custom setup we used for controlling the motor speed. In other words, motors turn at different speeds, so it will sound out-of-tune with different motors. The hardware is an SSC-32 microcontroller and a SyRen10 motor speed controller.

Good job dude!!

[ff7redxiii]

your room must be very annoying at times

[SomethingUnreal]

Lmao... usually I just do everything on headphones so it's not a big deal. It's actually pretty rare that I do noisy things like this (or am able to). The size of my room is pathetic, so I was doing this in my brother's room. Also the motor speed controller is his - I don't have one. =/

So there are 2 reasons why I don't/can't do things like this often... *sigh*

[UnknownSquid]

Keep on singing little motor. Keep on singing. =)

Gives me ideas. I want to see what you could pull off with the motor in an airsoft gun.

[SomethingUnreal]

Are those those model guns which have a motor in them to make the clicking/firing sound? I don't really know much about them. But I'd like to get any motor with a gearbox and try it. =D

Because it'd whine so it could do much higher-pitched notes.

[UnknownSquid]

Ish, but more than just clicking. Automatic electric bb guns basically. They use a motor to pull back a piston which fires the plastic bb. Intended for the same kinda thing as paintball.

But yeah, I was just amused by the idea of hitting a button on the side of my gun and having it sing happy birthday. ^^

That would probably be the coolest gun mod ever.

[falzaabi]

hahahaha, this is cool

[chimera15]

cool... What pic are you using?

[SomethingUnreal]

It's an SSC-32 (32-channel microcontroller) controlling a 'SyRen 10' (10-amp single motor speed controller). Although you can use an Atom stamp with the SSC-32, I'm just doing it in realtime via a serial cable. I would like to learn about using Atom stamps at some time though....

[chimera15]

Ah, great info, thanks a bunch!
