Hello Everyone, my first time here, I just started into robotics. I am looking to have the 8 X 8 RGB blink when my robot talks. I have tried scripts I found in the community on here, but since it doesn't connect to a digital port they do not work. I tried editing some of the scripts to use a sound servo to enable RGB animator script, but it still doesn't work right and just blinks quick and goes black despite what the animation is. I am wondering if there is a way to script to make it work or if I need to somehow wire it to a digital port? Thanks a for any advice and be gentle, I am a novice lol.
Stay tuned
I would recommend putting a sleep() in your loop because the script will run way too quickly.. So maybe something like..
Code:
Now, you can also use the CANVAS and draw the wave forms on the 8x8 if you like. Take a look at the ControlCommand list for the 8x8 skill. There's a canvas that you can draw lines and objects and such. The manual for the 8x8 provides some examples of using the canvas, here's the manual link: https://synthiam.com/Support/Skills/I2c/RGB-8x8-Animator?id=16173
i created this inspired by the DRD’s: http://www.ez-robot.com/Tutorials/Lesson/126?courseId=9
I work in cybersecurity so I spend a lot of time stuck at my desk so this is a good way for me to pass the time while I wait for work scripts to finish!
Nice also to meet another Farscape fan, that was the first convention I ever went to lol. Now that I see that DRD project I may have to take it on once I finish this project! Thanks for the help, I am sure I will need more as I move forward lol.
