This was just for fun have not put sound to it yet.
And I've only had 5 hr.s of programing time.

@cesarin3561

You need: 1) An IMB (Type) computer 2) The JVMServo software 3) The JVMServo circuit board that the servos plug into 4) The USB connection cable. 5) and time lots of time to set the poisons, of every servo. Just drag the slider. Like adjusting a volume level.

Thanks for your interest, Steve-

That's next... if I ever get time.

When the drum sticks are at a certain point

a synthesized sound will be made.

But, as a film prop, where the sound track is

as big a part, as the film it's self. This would work just fine.

(Think lip syncing.) As it is fully programmable speed/position/timing.

Oh, and the motors make a lot of noise.

$250.00 plus a computer and around 80 hours.

But I use what I have at hand and

make a lot of my own parts.

[psychopathtoine]
