A floppy-drive rendition of Still Alive, by Jonathan Coulton from the hit game Portal.

The code for both the Arduino and Java application are available here: https://github.com/SammyIAm/Moppy

The UI isn't great, so I apologize in advance if it gets in the way of your attempts to use the software. Anyone out there good at Java UIs, feel free to contribute a decent one ;).

    Well you can rest easy knowing that they'll be just fine. I'm not doing anything they wouldn't do under normal operation, I'm just varying the speed at which they do it. =)

    I find it quite fitting to put this song on an antiquated piece of technology that still clings to our memories as we smile fondly while reminiscing about the days of playing games on floppy disks. When gigabytes were a mysterious thing of the future.

    I suppose technically, yes, the motor might eventually wear out. But like I said, the motor is used a LOT during normal floppy use, so I doubt this will wear it out any faster.

    Surely, it must wear out the motor, though!

    Actually this sound, or device, would make a good addition to the instrumental orchestra of Portal. Aside from all other cores, and turrets. This would be a good Turret or Core, :D

    Hope someone agrees, if not, please say so, so that I don't go around sounding like a complete noob.

    Peace.
