This wee little viking was made using two servo motors blutacked together, and Arduino Diecimila interface board, and Max MSP.
Thanks to the bloke who made the beat detection patch! Can't remember who sent it to me, but with a bit of parameter tweaking it works great!
The rest of it I did myself (getting said patch to send data to Arduino, programming the Arduino to take the data and control the servos).
This is a work in progress so be nice with the criticism!
The Music Is Mr Scruff - Spandex Man.

All motion is controlled by the software. The robot is reacting in realtime. The track has been re-overlayed to account for the shit quality of my phone's audio. The only input I give is what you see, me clicking the start button!

P.S. Thanks to PA & Scott!

    awesome work! a couple tiny servos and some tiny arms playing air guitar would be so funny.

    How complex is the patch? any chance you would share it? I just built my first arduino board and have a couple servos too. :)

    great work! made me laugh.

    Thanks mate. I don't really like sharing my work before it's finished. If you contact me again in May I will be happy to show you. If you need any help in the mean time, I'd be happy to offer you advice. I'm also active in the Max mailing list so even if I can't offer you advice, others there might be able to help.

    If you sold this, this little guy would cost countless hours in wasted time, but that time would be much happier.

    Hi Im trying to figure out how to control a servo through max/msp and arduino. Is there anyway you can offer some help.

    Any help would be incredibly appreciated. Thanks.

    Sweet. The little guy was the best laugh I had all day. I can't wait to see if/how you take him further.
