Floppy Kirby's Theme

My second multi-floppy song, as suggested by Neutrino. I'm using an Arduino UNO hooked up to three drives (one 5.25" and two 3.5").

I apologize for the lack of quality video, the drives are all in a noisy case, and I have to get pretty close to get decent audio. I'll be working on better presentation in the future.

The Arduino is fed data over a serial port from my PC. I wrote some software to read MIDI files to generate the data, so it's fairly easy to throw new songs into the mix.

Special thanks to XpertBob (http://www.youtube.com/xpertbob) for the Arduino.

can I have permission to do a "this video contains" with a link to your video?

[Sammy1Am]

@masterofthecontinuum Of course! I've even switched the license over to Creative Commons so it's all official and such.

If you'd like, I can re-record this on the 8-drive set-up with a better mic (depending on what you plan on using it for).

@death5140 I did this comment first! Damn it! Rename the vid to this video contains floppy drives

[ericdevey]

@Sammy1Am Please do that! I would love to hear it on 8 drives!

[killernat]

@Sammy1Am it would be cool to see it on your 8 drive setup
