Thread: Our 09 Graveyard

Tweet

I finally got a decent video of what we did last Halloween up on youtube. You will notice that some of the animated skeletons don't seem to move all that well. It turns out that I read the SSC-32 manual wrong and had a 5vdc 4amp power supply running all of the servos. This was not enough voltage or capacity. When I programmed the skellys, I did them one at a time. They worked great while programming but when we set them all up together, they were way under powered. (I'm surprised they even worked) This year's promises to be much better.

Awesome stuff!

Great work, I wanna hang out at your place......

Very nice!!!

BD - as I've said before, I am just absolutely dumbfounded by the fact that you've set up what would be an incredible show in anyone's yard, and gone 10 steps further making it transportable to go halfway across the state every Halloween to your haunted campsite show.

I dig the show, love the props, am amazed at the animation sequence you've set up (is it 8 animated skulls, 1 undead monkey, and Madame Leota's headstone, along with integrated sound and lighting?), and truly humbled by your patience and skill.

Very nice setup.
I like the use of the orange and blue lights. They seem to compliment each other very well.

awesome nice buckys

Very cool!!

Very nice and elaborate!!! It must have been a bummer to get it all set up and not have it work as you had intended after all that effort. All for one or two nights...how much fun is that though...I'm sure everyone still loved it and didn't know it wasn't doing everything you wanted.

Loved it and cant wait to see next years video with even more!!!

I enjoyed it and cant wait to see it running as you wanted for this Halloween. The talking skulls, servos and what not is way above my head so I am always impressed with them.
