friends, I've been trying to use the SoundServo control to animate the mouth in one of my robots. I'm using the EZ-b4 soundservo. but.. it does not respond in sync to the sayezb command... sometimes it does not move at all. someone knows how to set it up correctly in order to sync sound and the servo movement ? thaks...
Good point Rich.... Does the servo move properly when you just use it with the basic horizontal or vertical servo control? Maybe your servo is faulty as Rich suggests?...
I know when you cue a sound, there's a slight delay when sending it to the ez-b but it would cause the servo to be delayed equally though.
@Technopro, I believe you are suffering from an issue with your EZ-B or network if you have a delay between hitting play and it playing. If you watch my unboxing videos the sound is instant (and I have very high network traffic too but a fast ethernet).
This is direct to the ez-b on ap mode. Everybody says I've gone mental but I have slight delays(1/2 of a second max) from time to time in the camera and in sound transfer.
It could be the network card in the PC. My old sony vaio suffered a lot due to a poor wifi card, a few other things I have also drop a lot for no real reason. Other things suffer no problems.
Id say give the ez-b a try on a different PC or a different wifi dongle just to test it.
ok folks.. I tryed all the sugestions. Another computer, another dongle.. and, I am still not able to sync perfectly the jaw with the sound on EZ4... So what I did was incorporate an "audioservocontroller" board... (http://www.audioservocontroller.com/) And that works great, even if getting sound from EZ-4 (I soldered the wires from the points indicated on the board to get the sound from ezb to audiocontroller...)
Of course it was not the best solution I was looking for (since if we could use only the EZ-B would be much better..) So.. Any other Ideas ?! thanks
Hi @tevans, that sound board is really cool and looks like a good solution. I see nothing wrong with taking the load off V4 EZB. That little wonder has it's hands full already so why not give it a break if things run smoother and you have the room. I myself use a different sound controler to flash the neon in sink with voice files on my B9 robot.
Yeah... It's the best solution for now. But I can think a dozen of uses to sound servo feature, so I hope it works better in the future. Thank you guys for your replies. You rock!
