@alaskalux

No eyes, you right, i'm tentacled.

Did you use reverse polarity to brake and voltage surge to accelerate motors?

[bugotak]

Motors - brushed?

[alaskalux]

@bugotak

thats standard Mabuchi Mini Motors...

Brushed ...

[adrifromhh]

[herauthon]

mount them on a guitar or speakerbox :D

[Computerfreaq15]

LOL, i've done this, but i didn't get the results like you did. all i did was that i hooked em up to my comp's speakers and played music.

XD

[Umblambla]

hahaha this is kinda funny... Very nice job tho

[javierenchina]

so the speed of the motor is proportional to the frequency of the sound, and the little flappers strike the desk to make sound? turn off the real speakers so we can just hear the motors : P

[Organgrinder010]

Nice! I wonder if you can amplify them by having the tape hit a styrofoam cup or something? This is the most creative thing I've seen in a long time.

[avastluckyman]

Neat, Your using midi to connect the electric piano and the motors.. more work then that though. Thats sweet. i see in your other vid's you like electronics like me :-)

[VideoJunkei]

i have 2 drawers FULL of motors, you have inspired me!!!!

[amienois]

funny, but ad more mecanic

[acebrawler73]

wow dude. you are talented. I'm just starting to learn to program. Like JUST starting. Can you read and/or write in any programing languages?

[marcan42]

A number of them. Once you've gone through 3 or 4, all the others are just variations.

I can say I know C, Python, Java, Javascript, PIC16/18 asm, bash, and some Perl, VB (yuck), C++, and C#. This project is coded in PIC18 asm (the code in the chip), and Python (PC-side frontend). If you want to start programming, I suggest python. It's easy, clean, high-level, reasonably fast, and has a very large set of libraries. There are several very good tutorials available.

[taejamhaha]

@marcan42 how to study it???

our high school teacher here in the philippines taught us C++ first huhu

[GOxOK]

How Long It Take to do all of this and is it really that complex?
