Files and instructions can be found here: www.thingiverse.com/thing:2760999 I've seen a few people mount their drives in wooden structures mounted on turntables, enabling them to test things outside of the body so they have access to the internals and they can start refining the design while the ball is printing. I was at this stage in my latest build where I would need to do the same. The down...

Testing BB-8's stabilization using the updated design
Переглядів 1,5 тис.8 років тому
BB-8's internals were updated to support a lot more weight and every single part was redesigned and reprinted. Instead of 8mm shafts it now uses 1/2" aluminum box section. The main drive motor now also directly connects to the body and the neck mechanism is completely new. The motor that tilts the body has also been changed for a MUCH stronger unit. In this video the side-to-side stabilization ...
Spraying BB-8 with transparent rubber
Переглядів 3,1 тис.8 років тому
I sprayed one of my hemispheres and some smaller parts in transparent plastidip In an effort to improve friction on smooth surfaces, reduce noise on hard surfaces, and reduce small wobbles that are too tiny for the active stabilization to correct. Product used: smile.amazon.com/Performix-11209-Multi-Purpose-Coating-Aerosol/dp/B000LNN11G This should also help protect the surface of BB-8 when rol...
BB-8 neck testing
Переглядів 1 тис.8 років тому
The neck tilt and rotation mechanisms were wired up today. The head tilting is just a simple motor paired with a simple potentiometer. The two work together with a PID to set angle. This is exactly how a servo works, just on a larger scale. The neck rotation is a single motor with a rotary encoder connected to its input shafts, this is exactly how the tile motor is wired and lets me drive it to...
First drive of my full sized BB-8

Running on a THICK rug, which is great for removing wobble but also requires a lot more power than running on wood or thin carpet. Will try out on hardwood tomorrow morning
BB-8 wobble stabilization. Left:OFF, Right:ON
Переглядів 9988 років тому
Finally getting the PID values tuned to reduce wobble in the full-sized BB-8. Tested on both a towel (stand in for thin carpet) and the much harder to reduce wobble on wooden floor. Tuning will continue as parts are added but it's defiantly a step in the right direction.
BB8 - Testing out the tilt motor
Переглядів 1,2 тис.8 років тому
In this video you can see one of the two small motors (one each side) that will operate the main tilt mechanism used to both stabilize and turn BB8. I'm happy with the speed and accuracy of the setup, confident it will be able to deal with the weight of the battery and lead in the bottom.
BB-8 - testing drive PID
Переглядів 9988 років тому
The drive for BB-8 is controlled by a simple PID loop on the Arduino to drive it to and hold a set angle. In the first clip the Arduino is alternating the setpoint from -45° to 45°. In the second clip it tries to hold 0° while I twist it around This is the PID loop that manages the drive motor, right now i'm just telling it to go to an angle as quickly as possible. A separate PID loop will gene...

Fixing up and lighting the hell out of my cupboard
I've seen this many times in the last six years, and yet when it randomly pops up in my feed, I will never not take a minute to watch it again. So well done.
So, I'm a little confused. Are you saying that it is a "linear" pot because it is a slide pot? Linear does not refer to the form factor, please look up "logarithmic vs linear pots".
It can also feature a lock by shorting the pins of the motor. Try it, you are unable to move it.
Thanks for the tip man i found this tough your post on reddit while searching for adafruit soundfx alternatives. 30 bucks is wild. Im searching parts to make an aperture science portal gun
Extremely cool, great work.
Thank you very much!
If I had a project could you quote taking care of it?
Great video thanks, I have one of these on order, waiting for it to arrive. Going to use this for playing sound in a 3D printed iron man helmet as I cannot seam to find the US made S.U.E board.
what is this third that manages the potentiometer pls?
Hi Critters! Hopefully you see this. The Orlando Science Center had a Line Wobbler installation that had the hardware go out. With no code available, there was no way to repair it. I'm happy to say that it is now a TWANG Installation! It's an an art gallery area, so every exhibit has attribution. I wanted to give credit where it's due, so if you would like, tell me how you'd like to be credited. I'll make sure it gets put up as such! I'd be happy to have them put Critters or your real name if you so desire. And let me know how you'd like twang stylized, all caps or what have you. I had some fun implementation details, the joystick is on the other side of a hallway that is an art gallery from the LED strip, so I ported TWANG to an ESP32 and used one ESP32 to drive the LED strip and one to send the IMU info and reset button press across to the other with ESP-NOW (Which works awesomely, this is the first project I've used it on.) I'll send a video once they put the plaque up with attribution, if you so desire. By the way, the FastLED library installed straight from the library manager in Arduino works just fine now. I saw in your readme it said TWANG needs a special FastLED, but looks like they fixed whatever was causing that necessity.
Critters on UA-cam would be fine. I'd love to see a video! Did you try to reach out to the line wobbler guy?
@@Critters we did, several times. it looks like he's moved on to bigger projects, which is awesome, but for a while it looked like they were going to have to take it down. Thank you very much for releasing this! I'll take a video next time I'm there.
@@Critters I'm about to send over to the department head, I'll tell them to credit as @Critters (UA-cam) and the installation with be titled: "TWANG" I'll send a video when that's done! Let me know if you'd like to change any of that before I send it over. Thanks again!
@@DavidSikesII Thanks David, let's go with "David Scott" and "TWANG", I appreciate you confirming and I look forward to seeing the video of it in action.
@@DavidSikesIIDid it get installed?
Great build!
Wow, this is insane... very nicely done!!!
Can this be used without a microcontroller to control PWM fans ?
i wonder if you can use these for haptic feedback VR gloves 🤔
where can i buy them
Should take it through Ai tweening processing to help with the stop go framerate issues... can bring it from 10fps upto 30 or 60 ... very nice work btw.
This is so good
I love this. Simply amazing.
Thank you so much for this video! I was trying to figure out a way to mimic the input from the OP-4 from Teenage Engineering. Not sure if this is what they are doing, but seems like it would work :D
Sensational!
Can you do some better call Saul lego
🔥💗🧚♀️
The JQ6500 looks similar and is cheaper. I couldn't get mine to work on Win 11 or Win 8.1. Anybody got one working ?
Now if you could incorporate this it would be complicated but incorporated to a computer generated voice based on text like windows has where you could plug it in type in a bunch of strings that you wanted to say based on whatever criteria you have and it would speak the text that would be handy that is way beyond my capabilities at this point I've just started a few weeks now I got a couple of neat projects that I did but nothing to that extent I think it would be a great challenge
Wonderful
Awesome
I see that this project is quite old but I thought I would give it a try. I managed to gather all the components but when I try to compile the code in the Arduino IDE, I get a pretty long list of errors. I managed to find and install all the libraries but the list of compile problems remains quite long. I'm wondering if the version of the libraries or the version of the IDE are creating problems for me. Could you please tell me what versions were used when the project was originally developed?
This was so long ago and just a one-off for halloween I have no idea. Sorry.
@@Critters I eventually worked my way through all the issues and got it working. I'm pretty thrilled with the results. Thanks for sharing the code. Well done!
@@robcarnegie7480 If you do a video do tag me in it, good job!
Was a arduino mega required for memory constraints or would an uno work?
@@SteveWyatt The only thing a Mega offers is more memory and a lot more I/O pins. I didn’t check to see if it would have fit in an Uno but I’m sure it would be possible if you used some shift registers to share pins on things like the remaining lives LEDs.
This is incredible! Such a unique machine, amazing functionality!
this is totally affordable now a days I would be willing to make one. cheers dude!
I am planning on using one of these as my smart home light switch, moving itself when I use Amazon echo or an app to adjust the lights
Very cool, bonus points if you put 2 switches in line-of-sight of each other and adjusting one by hand makes the other move too ;)
@@Critters my room's not large enough unfortunately, but that's a really cool idea... I might even use the touch detection that many of these have to "lock" the lights and prevent people from changing them, just by holding one for a while without moving it, or to adjust a different light by double tapping it first and then dragging. These have so many possibilities, I feel like they deserve more attention, they seem to be really easy to integrate too
by the way, what arduino and motor controller are you using? I have a (maybe broken, shorted out some analog pins to gnd or 5v at some point) arduino leonardo knockoff and will use an L293D PMIC driver, but I have severe space constraints as I will put the power supply in the wall with everything else since there is already mains in there
Technically the motor is a servo, it's just that you have to write the firmware yourself
The bison running killed me.
I Love it
Great video!
What do they use it on bullet vibrator

I love this!! It's awesome
Would be great for the manual wing sweep handle in an F14 simulator.
Someone just implemented something similar in a Eurorack module and I was like "I know I saw this somewhere before!" ua-cam.com/video/-WYYDAlfkxs/v-deo.html
Super cool!
What part is that pot, have a link?
This is one of the coolest things I've seen. Had no idea it was a thing
Amazing ! 👍😍💗
Can it only play 1 sound at a time? No polyphony in anyway?
where can i get the diagram for the conections?? i need this game
I LOVED IT!!!! BRAVOOO BRAVOOOOO
Brilliant! 😂🤣
hi, can this device play multiple mp3 files simultaneously ?
Where can I get this part?
I don't have a part number, I found it 2nd hand on ebay searching for "motor driven slide pot". I think it came out of or was a spare part for a mixing console, so maybe search for that.
you can find some on aliexpress for around 15$, might not be exactly the same... search electric fader
Класс!!!
omg amazing!
