Use two servo motors in combination with any audio device and turn tunes into toons. This could be the simplest - and one of the coolest - robot project you ever build!
Not gonna lie: I let out a very unmanly giggle right off the bat. "Hi, I'm Mike with Make."
Yeah, I think it's bed time.
Also, this is probably one of the coolest projects I've seen on here ever. It's a great way to show kids how you used to load programs into 8-bit computers using cassette tapes.
I'm so building this on Monday! Hooray for employee discount!
This is similar to the scara robot I built, but I like some of your alternations. So I'm building a mark II using them. Specifically, I like the built in work surface which means that the robot retains calibration between each use. I also like using the batteries as a counter weight to the servos. The skid in the forearm is a great idea to because it means that the pen tip has a nice even pressure across the page.
Use a haxor?
what is this ? explain please
A Haxor is like a handsaw, its just a nickname.
***** It is a handsaw technically though its a hacksaw.
Usually nicknames are used when the actually name is long or cumbersome. In this case, "haxor" is no more efficient than "hacksaw".
Cool project, tough.
Bist du deutsch ?
what if you just play a random song?
will any servo motor will work or the you need the big ones?
please replay:)
pocket plotter... BRILLIANT!!
this is pretty dam cool
How do these complex projects not have someone (the video maker) simply buy these parts in bulk, put all of them into boxes and sell them on eBay or amazon with a link provided in the description? I and others would be glad to spend an extra ten or twenty dollars to know I had all the parts in hand delivered to my door rather than to stumble around a rad shack based on a still frame of a video. and the creator would make a fortune.
Do you need the RadioShack® Digital Soldering Station? And if so, why? Trying to make this into a schoolproject but as u probably can understand I don't wanna spend over 160$ on this :p
Any soldering iron will do!
+Channe Wahlgren Not at all.
Great Proyect! I wanna built it :)
That's awesome!
... this+dubstep= crazy af drawings?
... this+dubstep= garbage drawings, the pen going off the paper, or most likely nothing at all.
This is brilliant!
So... I could get a laser cuttter with a few changes?
Yes a suppose you could thank you for bringing that up now I want to try it.
Yes you can, just replace the pen with your laser but you will not cut but just burn the paper.
Domino SixO I think that may depend on the laser but yeah, I thought about using it with harder materials tough.
Maximiliano Pena You can use a powerful laser but control it with a regulator so you will be able to cut or just simple burn and have cool draws.
it would be very inaccurate look at how jumpy the lines are on the page
hacksaw ends in a W
This is a mind bender.
great idea... Wave file to draw. Nice idea...
RIP. Radio shack :3
1:41 "Next you'll use a haxxer" HAX!!!!
This is so cool
Did you ever try to replace the audio-cable with a speaker and a mic? :-D
I wonder how the degradation would influence the plotted image…
thaks for your knowledge
You just earned a sub buddy
I'd be interested to see what effect the noise from (e.g.) MP3 compression has on the resultant image, and at various levels of aggressiveness.
+James Stanley It would also be interesting to set it up, plug a splitter into your jack port, plug in both your headphones and the machine, callibrate it, then produce music, see what it draws. Sell the drawing for 20000$ as modern art.
Or put reverb on the signal
What if the wires of the servos are brown, red and yellow?
Could this work with 9g micro servos if not what about metal micro servos ?
AWESOME proj
How can we change the drawing pattern ? Can we make our own audio file ?
For once, can you make an awesome project with just a Raspberry Pi? Like turning it into a hackbox, or a python encryption or and decryption application? Or have a video with things you find around your house (yes, I mean all of the them...well, except the Raspberry Pi)? Like a robot made out of a shoebox, motor, wheel, and an RPi
excelente video
on the website is a link to Enercell™ 6V/300mA AC Adapter but its not used ? but i can use it instead the battery pack? but the batterys are the counterweight will it still be functional without them?
Do those servo motor rotation continues or it has a limit plz answer fast coz I got some like the ones which have a limit
Can I please get a direct link to download the drawbot wave synthesizer?
hack-SAW damn it! hack-SAW! AH! *brain implodes*
Hello, do we need to use 360 rotational servomotor or 180 degree rotational is enough ? Thankyou Make: Please Reply :)
+Andrew Henderson Those are standard servos, meaning not continuous rotation.
shn lj thankyou so much:D
The drawbot wave synthesizer gives me an error: Sequence contains no elements. Please help!
Rather then images, would this same build work with me drawing PCBs board layouts? So that I can design pcbs and have this little thing draw them out
Nice project, just inspire me to do something like that to me.... I will do that and share with you.... thank's to inspire me
I'm making this as my final year project at college. I can't get the servos to turn beyond calibration. I'm using a lab bench power supply. Should I increase supply current or is there something else? @make:
What if you attach the servos to the knobs of an Etch a Sketch. You would have to modify the software for making the wave files but it should work.
can you tell me where to get the drawbot wave synthesizer?
Nice job. You could use old printer to do yhe same
Or just a printer :D
Domino SixO True that! Lol Still would be fun to build. It's funny how history don't repeat but rhymes. How things can come back around. Suchlike older style bikes.
Hi, I've built the TRS drawbot for a school assignment and everythings seems to be working except the last and maybe most crucial part. Whenever I try to use the drawbot with any of the saved SVG-files I get an error message saying "Input string was not in a correct format". I have tried draw stuff through the stipplegen program aswell but get the same exact message. Please help, what to do?
im gonna make this
great thing
I wonder what the audio file generated would side like through speakers/headphones...
damn that's awesome
Interesting, but unless you make it mill something (like a CNC), it's just the equivalent of a printer.
Thought the same, but it's fun to mke
+Daniel's Game Vault Just play the song you love the most and see what happens :P
+Daniel's Game Vault It's just for fun
Can we use any servo with a little differentiation??
Brilliant.
Social Networking. ??
Who said youtube is social networking?
awesome!!
I AM MAKING THIS FOR MY SCHOOL SCIENCE FAIR
Sweet!!
hi
i built, but did not know how to play it I have not worked for what followed all the steps, but I did not understand how to operate it the way
The title made me think you were going to do this with a TRS -80 (Tandy Radio Shack 80 computer).
SO how can I convert this into a 3D printer? Perhaps adding a z-axis?
you watch a different video all together.
make a sound file with three Ds, upload it to your sound player and you got it.
Pump Up The Jam!
will Dubstep work ?!
;)
How to download and setup the wave synthesizer software on pc, Please explain in detail
Does this thing draw anything and everything ?
Lol we don't have a Radio Shack in my city!
Regular WAV song not set for a drawing, would this draw a sound wave?
Hi Do It work With a digitalservo, i have try IT but IT works the analog Servo With the gluemotor app but the digital Servo must be work because the rc Modell reciver send the self frequence and here work all servos... sorry for My Bad engilsh... can you help me
In the top right it occasionally says lake
where do we get the audio wave file
You have to use a .exe file to generate a .wav file.
I built one but i cant figure out how to download the WAVE synth software...
If i try to put a 3d printing pen instead a regular will it work?
how to centro the drawbot????from where we can have the app to centrol the bot for smart phone tell me the link....
Can i use a micro servo for this ? Cause they're quit cheap...
there is no instructions regarding how to bend the arm which holds the pen in your project site......................PLEASE HELP
id play any sort of music with this thing
Can i use fatuba s3003 servo for drawbot project ? plz reply
I am making a 45w led flash light with Xl6009 it is super bright and portable and can be used with rechargeable battery
How many lumens? I made one using a 100watt led, its a whopping 10,000 lumens!
what will happen if you use any regular audio file for the drawbot?
would it be very difficult to build a 3d printer on the grounds of this design and concept?
+Ganesh Hosur There is a very simple stereo lithography printer that has been built that uses an audio signal to control the laser. But it's prints are very crude.
oh!!!! Thanks for taking time to reply!!!
Why does the instructions page no longer exist?
can it be done using normal electric motor ?
which servos are those 360 degree ot 180 degree
plz reply
can i use small servo with your cod ????
What is the minimum torque required for this project?
what if we use another audio source to control "pen up" motion and it will be more precise and reliable :D
sir plz say me how to download drawbot wave synthziser software??? plz reply me fast!!!
Could it be possible to control it just with arduino ? Because this project requires apple devices, I do have iPad2 but it doesnt work . it seems that it doesnt have enough power.
T1iCanon wat. This works with anything that can play a wav file, and output that over a normal 3.5mm headphone jack.
dumle29 I tried, and several other tried it too. If you go to the project page there is a lot of people that are upset because it doesnt work on any device that can play waw file.
Can i translate your Weekend projects to russian with link to original video?
build and program your own signature forger
add a bluetooth audio reciever, and its wireless
there is different types of servo motor, whats the meaning of ROB ?
I made this and am trying to play it thru my laptop. It's not doing anything. Through troubleshooting I'm finding that my pc outputs an analog signal with realtek audio manager and I can't seem to change it. Any software recommendations?
shn lj breadboard an amplifier circuit to put between the not and your pc
Please some one could send me the working programm or the audio file please, because i complete my project but software is not working and it gives me errors
Which software should I use
I didn't understand the connections of +and - from the battery to the servos
plesse I want to make this project
explain me
Alan Jose Thomas did you complete your project?
can u provide me the whole components details so that i can bulit one
RIP radio shack.
What is the music? it's not credited anywhere
Can I use it with regular music
Anyway u could make a set for sale?
What if I play some of my favourite songs through it?
can i use a bigger clipboard ??
How to download drawbot wave synthesizer,i doenloaded but it is not opening in my laptop,pls tell me a solution
