Hey Guys,
Not sure if this is something that you can help me with? My wife is a professional Vent and we have a need for remote mouth movement on our wearable masks via remote FOB control. There are 2 masks that we place on people for a stage act and she needs to remotely activate the mouths individually.
Thanks
Chris
Hi there,
Thank you for posting this interesting project here.
If have to admit that this won’t be an easy task but I can try to help you with the bloc design of the project.
First, you will need a microphone to capture the audio of the ventriloquist. Than this audio will have to be treated into a speech module or a processor like a Raspberry Pi.
If you use a software, you will have to be able to trigger some servo motor in synch with the speech analyzed. I’m not an expert in this case but I believe that you could find some useful information with similar projects:
Let me know how your project goes and I am more than excited to see the updates.
No need to sync with Vent vocals. She will be mic’d up, the masks are worn by audience members brought up on stage and the masks are then placed on the person. What I need to do is figure out a way via a KEY Fob mechanism to activate the servos that would attach to the mouths of the masks via a receiver on the masks. So when she pushes the fob button the mouth will open and close.
Thanks for the clarification.
Depending on the range required, you could use a simple IR remote kit: https://www.robotshop.com/ca/en/ir-remote-kit-arduino.html
An Arduino can than be programmed to received different commands and control the Servos via PWM.
Let me know if this helps you.
