Abunai.. I'm currently(no pun intended 'mate) runnin' a 1 amp supply fer me board an' three skulls in testin' mode, bu' have a 230w Micro ATX power supply from Frys Electronics fer $20, which supplies 5vdc @ 20amps(current limit) along with the standard 12vdc's too. I figured with the 18 or so skulls I'm goin' ta run, 20amps would be more than enough to keep everythin' fed..
Spectre, after setting me servo limits, I imported th' song file, then ran Waveform analysis fer each of th' jaw channels (3 in Pirates o' th' Black Tide video). After the waveform is finished loadin', I went in an removed a lot o' th' jaw events, so it doesnt look like the jaw is chatterin' so much, but openin' an' closin' more an' wider. It doesnt have to move exactly like the audio file drives it, just open/close somewhat in time to the audio(words). I lengthened some of th' events an' shortened some others.. main thin' is I be lettin' th' wavform do the hard work, then I cleaned it up. Fer parts of th' song, where one skull sings an th' others dont, I started with th tracks of th' guys not singin'... I zoomed in a little, marked each of th' blocks that dont get sung by th' guy an' removed them. Did the same fer music that triggered jaw movements.. jus removed them. Dint really take long... A Pirates Life fer Me took lil over an hour ta clean up fer me three singers... Pirates o' th' Black Tide took 'bout alomst 3 hrs ta clean up, bu' tha' included using VSA's capture option an' me mouse to load head movements fer th' left two skulls.. so you can do it whateva' way werks fer ya 'mate...
