External Trigger for Bottango Animations #11
Просмотров 7267 месяцев назад
In this video I will demonstrate how I added an external trigger, a motion sensor, to start the animation of a Bottango powered droid. This is definately not the perfect way, but it works and what works can't be that bad, right? The sourcecode for the required changes are here: github.com/PatrickSteiner/Bottango-Videos/blob/main/Bottango_Motion_Activated.md If you don't have anything setup yet,...

ESP32 and Bottango - #9
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.8 месяцев назад
ESP32 boards have more compute power over Arduinos, so in some cases it might make sense to not use an Arduino but an ESP as a Device Driver for our animatronics and Bottango. This video covers how an existing Arduino based setup can be migrated to an ESP32 one.

      Could you give me a bit more background on why you need to wire multiple Arduinos? What exactly are you trying to achieve that a single microcontroller can not do? I'm asking as there might be easier ways so achieve the same results.

      ​@@buildWithMe1970 my animatronic has 11 head movements and will have 12 body movements, Bottango and arduinos nanos max out at 12 digital pins and I don't want more then 1 USB coming from my computer also I have zero coding experience I might be able to achieve this with ESP32s over wifi

    • @buildWithMe1970
      @buildWithMe1970 6 дней назад

      @CJSanimatronicsandcreations in this case I would really recommend to change to an ESP32 and daisy chained Servo Drivers ( www.adafruit.com/product/815 ). In that combination you can use up to 100 Servos with one ESP32. I have seen in your videos, that you already have experience with Bottango, but maybe something from this playlist still does help you?! ruclips.net/video/1vZQIaL--Wk/видео.html

      Not sure what exactly you are looking for? In my other video "Pitdroid with Arduino and Bottango - LED Color Change #7" I'm covering how I did implement the color changes as seen in the video. If you want other effects, than this is something you will have to adapt the source-code to.

    I am having a issue when i try to load the DFplayer i get a serial error. All the other items are working but no matter what i seem to do the DFplayer will not work. I added all the code and drivers in the sketch and it uploads with no issues, when i turn it on in Bottango it gives a serial timeout error and dissconnects controller. Any ideas how to get it wroking ? Thansk for this hard work BTW !

      Hi, I had the same error as well, at the end it was the SD-Card not being readable for the DFPlayer ... My way of debugging was to build a minimum setup variant without Bottango based on this documentation ( funduino.de/dfplayer-mini-mp3-player ) once that worked, I integrated it to my droid's hardware.

    I am running into an issue where the driver is reporting "Command not received" in Bottango when the media file effector is set live. When exported to the Arduino, it causes the animation to cut short and eventually stop looping. Has anyone else seen this issue following this tutorial? EDIT: An interesting discovery: After listening to the communication over 115200 baud (the same as the driver), I found that the program was crashing shortly after the second time the media was called. After some experimenting, I found that the loop will execute normally when only playing the particular media once over the duration of the loop.
