I'm creating an EASIER way to control Robots and Animatronics
Переглядів 11 тис.4 роки тому
When I made my first robot, I wanted an intuitive, visual tool to control it, but nothing like that existed. So I made it! Download FREE at: www.Bottango.com I need your help creating the ultimate tool of hardware control for humans. Bottango is a new, visual tool for controlling robots, animatronics, and all kinds of hardware. In my long history as a game developer, I knew that I wouldn't use ...
Face Controlled Mood Wall
Переглядів 2,9 тис.6 років тому
I made another thing! This time it's a mood wall that reacts to your facial expressions. I made it out of an Arduino, poster board, disposable cups, Neopixels, an iPhone X and a whole lot of cutting. The wall itself is driven by Unity, sampling animations and particle systems to make a final light show presentation. Hope you like it! I'll make more things soon!
Animatronic Lawn Flamingo

Check out my very first robot... in my very first video! Federico is an animatronic lawn flamingo! He's got 7 points of articulation, a bad attitude, and a whole lot of fragile bones. Ferderico is made with an Arduino, servo motors, and is powered by the Unity game engine.

    Bottango is great. I bought Maxwell at last year's Maker Faire. I'm going to be at Maker Faire Bay Area 2024 (Oct. 18-20, 2024) showing Maxwell controlled from my Reflections ESP32-S3 development board. -Frank

    I want to make a muppets Animatronic of the two old dudes ,Waldorf and Statler. So they can overlook my store and satirically roast all the customers as they shop. Personally I'd actually rather not build one myself and just buy it off amazon. but it's one of those things that not even Amazon offers. So now I'm googling "how to" videos.

    YEAH!... WELL, this whole thing isn't easy for non-programmers or beginners when it comes to setting up the software. I've spent THREE WEEKS tearing my gray hair out trying to get the Arduino and Bottango servo board to communicate--without huge ERROR NOTICES! I've asked folks on these Bottango UA-cam videos to help me so that I may offer positive reviews. No one has responded! I suppose no one cares! Well, I am not posting positive feedback since the Maker never responded to my email contacts, UA-cam videos, Reddit, or Facebook. Neither has anyone else! So, until individuals start assisting others, I recommend that everyone utilize Maestro or another program. The Bottango community and Maker have no decent UA-cam videos to walk folks through this. They only have videos that celebrate the awful item and their animatronic parrot and bear. It's all hype. They shortchange the consumer by directing everyone to the "Manual." This is wonderful and dandy IF you can read it! It appears that persons who are overly intelligent FAIL to simplify their manuals and instructions. They also do not utilize uneducated individuals to assist them in troubleshooting these kind of problems, which they DO NOT SEE. Well, Bottango fans, what little there are, I'm really furious about this program. I studied the handbook, installed the joints and motors, and worked out the Port issue. To get Arduino to establish a pORT, it appears that you must turn off the "LIVE" setting in the program. THEN, you activate the "LIVE" button. The Buttango Servo Board is a major difficulty. I'm pretty upset about this. The board states that the voltage input ranges from 5 to 8.4 volts. So, after hooking it into an adaptor and letting some of the live servos run for a brief time, it BURNED OUT over 15 servo motors. I am F--- GLADE I do not hook this into my REAL animatronic device because I would have to GUT the F___ thing and replace all the servos! Thank goodness I used test servos that weren't hooked to any mechanism. I've also seen that several UA-camrs just utilize Arduino Uno or greater boards, with breadboards connecting everything to Bottango. I am wondering why. So, if someone calls me for assistance, I will remove this nasty message, apologize, and provide positive feedback. OTHERWISE, it remains available on UA-cam. BOTTANGO must take responsibility and recommence their teaching movies, as well as respond to these comments. SLIENCE BETRAYS THEM! ANYONE that wants to help can contact me here... I will be more than grateful; I will even pay you $$$$$$ SO, lets SEE IF anyone communicates??? :o) ROSS: 360-421-7195 ROSSMARSHALL@weirdvideos.com.
