Can the EZB be controlled via VSA?
Visual Show Automation
It seems like they should be able to communicate. I'm just curious if anyone has used VSA with the EZB before? Thanks!
ARC has been great so far, but it has been hard for me to line up servo movements with the audio file I'm using.
Code:
(or whatever track you want to play)
Then you can start your servo movement commands and sleep commands... It will be perfectly aligned each time. Hopefully I'll have time to do the joystick recording idea shortly.
Or maybe I just need a time line
I would love to have visual time line of the wav file itself so I can line up the jaw movements with the wave amplitudes.
VSA also analyzes the wav file and automatically aligns events based on wave amplitude.
Is it possible to designate a com port and then the specific servo position on the EZB board and control it that way, or does the EZB not allow that type of connection? i.e. all commands have to be written to a specific protocal like what I see in the EZ-SDK.
I realize my project is very specific and a unique use of what is really a robot controller.
Thanks for all of your help.
The protocol connected to the EZ-B is very specific. I've optimized it a great deal to be effecient and fast.
If all you care about is moving the servo on WAV amplitude, let me see if I can whip something up. It shouldn't be too tough
VSA has a free demo available if you want to download it fast to take a look at how they do it.
VSA Demo
I'll add servo speeds to the list of to-do items. In the meantime, I've been working on some other modules + my day job
I should post a list of the to-do items i have lol. I sometimes wonder when i'll have time to sleep haha
But the new soundboard has infinite mp3 and wav files also.
Anyhow, this is a screenshot of the new Sound Script control
This is fantastic. That will help me out tremedously with my project.
VSA is an $80 program and it looks like ARC is going to have the same basic functionality for FREE. Looks like I can use that money to buy another EZB.
Thanks again. This is amazing.
