Imperial March on Lego motors

Lego motor DUO plays Star Wars: The Imperial March. Enjoy!
Bass: Lego Buggy motor (5292c01)
Baritone: Lego 9V Heavy Mini-Motor (71427c01)
The music is generated with PWM signals of varying frequencies. The same thing that causes the annoying whining noise you may have noticed with Lego Rechargeable Battery Box, SBrick and BuWizz. Guitar Pro tab, Raspberry Pi and Python code needed. Read more in my blog:

Okay, hear me out: - Double or tripple the motors. Their response will be slightly different, creating an unison/chorus effect. - Keep everything on a piece of wood as resonance body. - Get hold of a "contact microphone" (probably not the right term for it) to pick up the piece of wood directly - Make multiple recordings, with the motors and mic being in different positions. Since you're sending "notes" from an external app, the timing should be 99% reproducible. Mixing the different tracks would give it some "volume" (not in the sense of loudness, but broadness ... if that makes any sense)

@NFSHeld Жыл бұрын

@@dkbmaestrorules I think it was almost done this way, but probably the string was cut off before Vader was tied to it. The knot shortened the string, and that's why Vader is lifted a bit in the end as if the string's half a centimeter too short.

When i was in engineering school we had a water facility simulator, essentially just two tanks with a speed variable pump in between and some valves controlled by a logic controller. me and my friend were bored in between classes so we made a program that used the pumps pwm controller to play old macdonald. Ah the good old days when life was simple.
