Thread: My 3 Axis is DONE!

Tweet

Hello,

After 4 revisions of plexi glass, and a feeling that this will never work, I finallt finished my 3- axis skull

This is using NO VSA or programming chips. All I have is a servo controller bought from servocity.com that has 4 knobs on it to create a routine. You hit record, and the thing remembers what movements you did. The best part is, it has a loop button.

I am really happy with this. This is my first real mechanical thing i have built minus a simple pneumatic popper.

I just need to work on the jaw a bit because the piano wire is sliding out of the hole


hope you enjoy!!!

looks great! I love the paint job. I can't belive that is without a computer!! Nice work!

I agree the paint job is really good. The motion is really good too.

Very nice! And without vsa!
I know the feeling about thinking its never going to work. We've been having that feeling alot as well.

Do you have a part # for the controller you bought? I created a simple R/C skull for thi syear but would love to do something similar to yours for next year. Any help would be great.Thanks

Wow, did you program the jaw using the knob? You did as well as VSA's wave analysis does I think!

Great job....I know the frustration....mines almost done...without vsa?? Wow. Buckaneerbabe helped me with the actual build and purchasing the right stuff and Dionicia has helped me so much with all the software...vsa and parlay. Hopefully I'll be done with a full routine this week. Thanks for all your help BB and Dionicia!!

I got to learn VSA, Exorcist, Creative Wave Studio and Phoenix's 7.1 sound builder last year on 5 skelies, a 3 axis, two 2 axis and 2 with just a jaw servo, plus I've been working with a couple of new props with VSA 4 this year. If you get stuck I might be able to help too. Lemme know.

Heres a routine I finished. Its a knock off of the skulltronix script (im not writer). Ill have to come up with a more personalized one for next year. The voice over was done by Chris at Discount Voice Overs - Haunt Greetings, Prop Voices, Haunt Atmosphere & Halloween Sound FX - Home

That's great! I've got one of those servo city recorders and they are easy to program but it takes a lot of coordination to move the different knobs at the right time, together and in different directions...kind of like patting your head and rubbing your belly at the same time but with two more locations.

The repeat is great but I wish it had a trigger option so you could hook it to a motion sensor
