I have a hallmark sensor activated Spider, that doesn't need all that, which I got in USA in 2014, when it stops working I'm going to pull it apart to see how it works off 2 AA batteries. It does have about 5 jokes that it speaks as it drops. Everything is inside the body of the spider though. This looks great though.
you are really really great man.thx for sharing your knowledge and doing such great videos including all resources.i hope you do more about cnc machines and teach from drawing in catia all the way to get the file executed by the machine.- thx again!
I know this is an old video, but it still helped me! However the problem with your code was that the sonar was so unreliable that it would randomly trigger after a minute or so. Like a 100cm reading would trigger the set distance of 30cm. However I found the solution to this, simply by finding an averaging function built into NewPing. It takes 5 readings and averages it, making this thing flawless but slightly slower to react. Now you can use the full 5 meters and trigger at 1 meter no problem. int iterations = 5; (add this code at the top with other variables) ((sonar.ping_median(iterations) / 2) * 0.0343); (replace all sonar code with this) Also don't be lazy and use the Echo pin. It is more reliable. I just used 7 and 6. Additionally NewPing should use the default 9600 baud. The faster baud might cause false triggers.
NYC CNC I'm pretty sure it's interference of some kind. I'm guessing the receiver and transmitter are quite close, right? For these kinds of setups where you talk directly to the camera I would definitely go for a shotgun mic. Seeing as you like guns and such, it should be preferred anyway, right? ;-)
Hi NYC CNC, great project I'm working on it now! Would you please update the Arduino Code page link? Thank you
I enjoy the Arduino videos. Thanks!
Another cool arduino project. Now you need to video the reaction to the scary spider.
The best thing in the video was your girly scream! 😉
Bill Of Materials: breadboard and power tail are the same link.
Thanks for the How To! I'd like to build one as well
Your code link is bad! Can you please fix it?
I like the new extra video
Great Halloween project, BTW. 😱
you sound like a voice over guy today. great code on the arduino ping sensor, going to borrow that one...
Love this!!!

dropping dangling spider be like:
I keep Peanut M&Ms on my desk too! Future sponsor? One of these days I will get to use my collection of Arduinos.
cool vid, but the link for the arduino code doesn't work anymore.
I know this is an older video but the link to the code doesn’t work.

Still hearing a lot of noise with the wireless mic...

listened to it twice now, I am no longer sure if its movement related...

I never did have good results with the Røde mics... What wireless system are you using?
Your voice never sounded better ;D
+NYC CNC Didn't sound sick at all, thx for great videos!

John, Go get some chicken noodle soup and take a day off.
ffs "Let's keep this super simple. So we made this on our tormoch lathe" In the same breath. eff off
