Blender Servo Animation Add-on - New Version + Arduino Library!

As you can imagine, I also had a lot of fun adding the sound effects to signal a change of the animation mode 😁

I was an animatronics designer for Jim Henson back in the 90s this is amazing work and a fantastic tool you have made for people. I have nothing but praise for you

I'm hyped to see the new version, the first version has been very inspirational to me so keep it up! I wanna see what improvements you make.

[astersfun]

Awesome! I'll have to give it a go soon! Just got a model set up for it.

Nice work Tim. I've been adding a serial output function to your code, which will allow realtime playback via a Pololu Maestro board. Will let you have a copy once I've got some of the kinks worked out.

Love this! Are you planning on doing any tutorials? I’m doing an animatronic similar to this size and I’m struggling on servo placements for arms and elbows.

[gelatinskeleton]

I would pay to learn from you how to begin doing this.

You should build a snowman animatronic next

Hi sir, may i know where i can learn how to make this arduino animatronics ?

I wish to know what kind of servo motors they use in projects like this one (by the way, amazing project). I can't find small servo motor or even with different shape... Do they have to BUILD those servo motors from scratch?

[martenj]

Oh Man. How do i get my hands on the addon?

[astersfun]

I've been using the new library for a bit now, and it's working great! That said, how possible do you think it would be to allow passage of more arbitrary data: either colors or some kind of automation value?

Being able to control lights or trigger animations on oled/e-Paper screens would make even more of the tedious bits of animatronics easier. I've been messing with using a virtual servo as a data passthrough, but it isn't the most elegant method for sure.

Hey, bro. I'am really curious about what you said live mode? could you give more details? Thanks a lot.

[louabi]

Wow live playing ! I am still working on this project and I noticed that my dfplayer mini has a latency of about 1 second and I would like to know how you did to solve this problem.

[DevFrogora]

it is my dream to do it, i already know how to accomplish it, but don't have must time

Looks awesome! Unfortunately, the github links in the description lead to a 404 page.

Do you think it would be possible to do this and would it smooth the movements ?
