Application to Auto Play Guitar Hero - with Arduino

Here's my lasted project....
An application that plays Guitar Hero on its own.....
its not yet completed... still is a work in progress.

But at this stage it completes almost any song in Expert with more than 90% of notes hits....
It will sometime do a 100% notes hit... but not a full combo... as it often over-strums on the Yellow note.
And the reason that it does not do full combos its becasue I still need to implement a "notes Correction" when it detects doubles or triples notes.
Also it does not start the Star Power on its own... it needs to be activated manualy... but its easly fixed...

All the scores seen at the end are the actual score made with the Arduino and Camera
The CAM used is a Logitech 9000 Pro.
Used VB.Net Express to create the application
Used the Arduino Decimiela (could also have used the Nano, but I wanted to show the detection with the LEDS)
Used a HP DV5 laptop (AMD Turion x2 at 2.1GHz and 3Gb or RAM

If you are not strong enough to move a rock on your own.

Then you would use a tool to help you out....

So I was not good enough to play it myself, so I built a tool that would do it for me.... I don't see that has cheating....

As long as its fully disclosed, and not used when personal skills are mesured...

Hmm interesting, good job i must say, i recently began to think of a way of achieving this, have you considered tapping directly into the video signal from the console to avoid the hassle of setting up the videocam?

[Buhric]

@Tomasu321

Yes I did,,, but like I said in my previous post... I now nothing of video processing...

So I have no idea how to do that.

It would be a lot better then using a webcam... that for sure

[taro10h]

how long have you been working on video processing?

I'm a junior. I'm interested in your projects but I wonder if I have enough knowledge

[Buhric]

@taro10h

Video processing is not my field, I'm a electronics engenieer with a broad programming knowledge. Nows many programming languages, but not an expert at any of them...

And remember that no one has enough knowledge for anything... If you like Video processing, then you will gain knowledge as you go.

you made this yourself?

thats sick

[shermanak74u]

wait... so you built this???? dude come to my college and teach us instead of our useless lecturer :P

[lolypopboy777]

Arduino rocks!!! :D

[UncoveredSheet]

Make a how to... Lol. Well, that'd be cool.

[TheDiktus]

very nice ;) and a nice cam :D

ROCK ON ARDUINO!!!

OMG! That's cheating!
