Update: Not much yet, but I must take my own medecine and share my work :)
I have rebuild the thing completely, am finishing it when I get a litle time here and then. New pic, that is all there is on this update :)
I have been working on how to use very simple circuits to make music into pulses, transfer this over air to a robot.
Thought is then to have the robot analyze these pulses, find beats, and .. well.. basically dance to the music.
Perhaps not the wildest of dance, but at least move in a grovy fashion.
Point is that once pulses are in air, it takes a very cheap reciever to get it down, so any number of robots could be "dancing" or where ever this leads me ;)
Also, an old robot of mine could send out pulses instead of my stereo - and so robots can move in a funky way. I think.
This is the first robot made / being made to "listen to the music", I will update this as I make progres with it :)
LOl, that looks so much not like me! If I could not remember the funky times, I would not believe it was me. wtf is it with my eybrows, did you photoshop this?
Yes. I wil make a walkthrough later, but short version:
Small circuit (no microprocessor, just 5 components) is hooked up to sound source. This has transmitter on, and transmits pulses. Reciever is on robot(s), and they use pulses to analyze music, and do their funky stuff to the beat.
Oh boy, it would be awesome to have yellow drum machine drumming around and then let yellow dance machine follow it and dance to the beats. How cool is that.
I can see the potential. Like your style as always (especially the re-appropriated parts). It makes me want to believe that the big (now yellow) plastic thing in the center was a toilet float ?!? :D
