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.

Can you please make a video on how you would wire 2 arduino nanos together? the animatronic I am make will use 2 or 3 nanos
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
@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
@ thanks so much I will definitely watch that play list
thank you for these step by step video series, very useful! I have a question which was not really mentioned in the video: How do you set up the color effect to change color one pixel at a time?
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.
@@buildWithMe1970 I was trying to understand how you switched color one LED at a time in this video. Anyway, in the meantime I figured out a way of doing it by putting code in the effectorSignalOnLoop routine in the callbacks
Thanks for sharing!
This is amazingly helpful
Thanks for the positive feedback!
Awesome explanation! Do you by chance have your final model files available for others to download and use?
Sorry, they don't exist anymore. I have been given a new Macbook by my employer end forgot to backup some files ... I might re-create everything in the future, but currently have other priorities.
Great work! Do you have any of your files that others could download and use as a starting point?
Sorry, due to change of Macbook ( and me not doing proper backups ) my files got lost. Might re-create in the future, but currently have other priorities.
Great videos. These have greatly helped me in learning Bottango. I'd love it if you did a video describing your hip and shoulder design. My pit droid only does the head movement, but I'd like to add the hip and shoulders too.
@@jiffyj41 I‘m glad the videos were of help to you. Both movements were part of the original Droid Division files. They get updated from time to time and new versions of files get added to the original ones.
Please monetize your effort. I think this is very good series of videos that will help many people as me trying to put together hardware and software.
Thanks for the positive feedback!
Thank you for this series i am just getting started with bottango and these easy to follow videos are just what i need
Thanks for the feedback!
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.
Hello! I am struggling to connect my esp32 to bottango. Any help with how I would connect it? Thanks!
What do you mean by "connect"? Physical connection via USB wire? What exactly is the error you are getting?
Hello, Do you know if the LED strip each pixel can be controlled seperately in Bottango timeline?
this is great thank you so much
didnt work
If you give me ( and others ) a bit more insight into what worked and what didn't, than we might be able to help you.
@@buildWithMe1970 idk when i put the code into arduino drivers and deleted the thing it did not work for me
@@NightMareNook101 What do you mean by "deleted"? The steps described in this video are still very basic. Best you check your wiring and all the steps again. If you have more detailed error descriptions, than I'm happy to try to support you.
please library gottango for arduino
Great videos, it has all really helped. By any chance are you willing to share your Bottango File so we can have that amazing full 3D model of the Pit Droid to work with
Don't forget to add: #include "DFRobotDFPlayerMini.h" #include "SoftwareSerial.h" - It took me a min to figure out I was missing those lines at the top of the code.
Clear explanation, thanks😀
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.
Im getting the same error when I have the audio file set to live.
Thank you so much for this video. It was very helpful!
great video! thank for sharing. I like the paint scheme. Did you airbrush or use a rattle can when painting this droid? Excellent job~
Thanks for the nice feedback! The painting is actually done with normal rattle can.
Thank you so much
Amazing work ...How would you add trigger inputs when running standalone
This is actually something I'm currently investigating myself, as I want my Pit Droid to "wake up" by a motion sensor. Once/if I find a way, I will create a new video about it.
There is a video out on that now: ruclips.net/video/4Xw3Y31VNPM/видео.html
ok ive got a dumb question. how did you get the pitdroid image in the bot tango screen?
You've got a very soothing presence with your voiceovers, nice job! You're definitely making me want to build my own Pitty
Don’t do it … it’s addictive 😂 Thanks for the feedback!
Hi thanks for explain how use with esp32, but many be u can help me when try to upload in esp32 give a error C:\Users\Pablo\AppData\Local\Temp\arduino_build_644232\sketch\src\CurvedCustomEvent.cpp: In member function 'virtual void CurvedCustomEvent::driveOnLoop()': C:\Users\Pablo\AppData\Local\Temp\arduino_build_644232\sketch\src\CurvedCustomEvent.cpp:27:51: error: 'analogWrite' was not declared in this scope analogWrite(pin, round(movement * 255)); ^ U know what is this Thanks
Hi, is this error raised during compile of the BottangoDriver Source? Where does the function analogWrite() come from?
These videos are fantastic! Thank you so much for posting them. I just started using Bottango and your videos have been a huge help!
Thanks a lot for the nice feedback. Encourages me to continue!
I absolutely agree with the previous comment. These videos are very straightforward and informative. Thank you for sharing them
Awesome looking Pit Droid. Can’t wait to see it operational
I have a different mp3 player - the YX5300, but this video gives me some insight for adding it into the bottango.ino and hopefully getting my own sounds to play autonomously. Thanks
Thank you so much for these videos. I was able to use the same methods and libraries to get my crow playing sound autonomously.
Thank you for documenting your process. I’m going to follow your progress and apply it to my build.
I'm glad if the videos help! Let me know if there are other topics you would like me to investigate and document.
@@buildWithMe1970 will do! Thanks
