Lights flashing to the notes in StepMania files. They’re controlled by a program which I made which reads SM files and plays through the notes (it’s the same program which controlled the servos in my previous video where the servos pressed the arrow keys for StepMania).
Some people who saw my previous video may know that I (accidentally) killed the microcontroller on the same day that I made the video. My brother’s kindly letting me use his in the meantime. I ordered a new one two weeks ago today, and it still hasn’t arrived. Aaaah, SSC-taaan! >_<
Technical rubbish:
The main microcontroller is an SSC-32.
The bulbs are each 2-Watt 21-LED 12-Volt bulbs, producing the same amount of light as a 25-Watt halogen bulb.
I intend to make a guide on how to make this, some time.
My latest project, and this is a mere prototype. A computer plays StepMania CVS 4, controlling servos to press the arrow keys according to step sequences in StepMania files. Lots more info and quite a bit of showing off in the video.
It plays “Overdrive” (for the sake of avoiding typing a really long title which I can’t translate) by IOSYS, and even gets a toasty on “Piano Variation for Remilia Scarlet”.
EDIT: Wow, this video’s quality really disappeared somewhere along the line.
For the technically-minded, I’m using an SSC-32 (microcontroller), and 4 Hextronik 5gr (HXT500) micro servos. The program was made with Visual Basic.
Sorry about the downtime here at robbi-985.homeip.net:8000 today.
But it was for the best, since now my server’s internet connection has a maximum upload speed of 64KB/sec instead of just 32! That means you’ll get faster site responses (since my server won’t have to keep uploading to so many people at once), and faster download speeds. The connection’s also higher-quality in general (via optical cable, instead of our really bad phone line).
I hope you notice and enjoy the difference with at least some things. =D
