VLOG 47 big servos, and the return of the gameboy megamachine!

so yeah! heres some things to sink your teeth into, this will make a video at somepoint after this rather big project is done its a means to control 50 servos.

the way i've done it was the most reliable way i found with what i had lying around, if theres a problem when it needs to work atleast its in the real world between different arduinos and teensys so i can solve it.

there are 3 arduinos with the same code (different notes on all 3) midi input to 16 gate outs on midi channel 4.

this is whats on these 3 i use this its from a piece of code i modified from tom scariff

aswell as 6 teensys with the same code any questions please ask! i will be drawing up a schematic. but with some quick thinking of mixing up an arduino midi input circuit with a 6n138 opto isolator, you can get the inputs working

the midi nano's require an older arduino program to run, go to the arduino site and find older versions aim for something like arduino 19 (its like the 2010 version! old i know)

but eyah!! 6 sleeps till the return of the gameboy mega machine, like i said i wont be stopping until its done, itll have plenty of projects within it that you can pull ideas and circuits and what not from!

i think the first week im going to sort out a lot of things i have now decided are a bit stupid with the wiring and routing of the machine, but ill touch on that next week. cus the gameboy megamachine is right now acting as a rather fancy coffee table, and i keep seeing its insides staring at me, as it literally looks like the back of the control panel of the lunar lander or something, a complete mess of wires haha.
