perfect motion ! Can you tell some details like, what board did you use to hack him and where to solder the wires ..? Maybe you can even make a tutorial on how to ? Thanks
I've got everything documented and am slowly getting things up online. if you'd like to see the teardown of the Squawkers McCaw, I've got that posted on Flikr. initial teardown: www.flickr.com/photos/48154193@N00/sets/72157637727178695/ Here's another set from before Thanksgiving: www.flickr.com/photos/48154193@N00/sets/72157637653178033/ the control is via a raspberry pi into a raspirobot shield. It's ideal since it has two h-blocks for forward/reverse of two motors along with a couple of inputs for the home switches. I'm using WiringPi for the GPIO control. And, I'm using Vixen Lights for the beak sequencing. I wrote a little "C" program that interprets the data. I'm planning on putting more about that online soon.
Were you scripting the movement directly for each track or did you manage to attach to the onboard movement for when it is replaying recorded audio? So far I've only used Arduinos as controllers, but moving to a pi gives the much needed audio option without an extra shield. Did you ever finish the writeup or is it just your pictures?
Thanks for this! You've inspired me to do my own Squakers McCaw hacking
Your work is so awesome! Thank you for posting all the pics,what wires go to the beak? i cant seem to find them ..thanks so much!

Mark Evans thank you, wow, the documenting pics are great. I'am thrilled to see more soon
I have a Squawker McCaw parrot that needs to be programmed. HOW on earth do I do it?

Какого черта вы издеваетесь над игрушкой ?!
