[Robotgroup] "Who will help me bake the bread?" :)

[Paul Atkinson]

Vern,
   
  Thanks for translating your email.. ;)
   
  I might have some time later this weekend. Do we have something to drive the stepper motor with, like spare ULN2803 pins, etc?
   
  Anyway, let me know what time and what day you converge on.
   
  Paul

Man I have to learn not to post late at night without spell checking! :) 
Lets try this again:

Ok, the RoboSpinArt is so CLOSE to a real test I CAN taste it (see how I 
worked the bread QUOTE in above? :) So I was wondering if some of the 
usual suspects would be interested in coming over for a last "PUSH" to 
try and go from "pile o' parts" to "working prototype". It needs 
assembly, and wiring and maybe a bit of carpentry to get this thing up 
and running! It also needs LOTS more programing, most of which can be 
better performed when the final machine is more or less assembled.

Also, since we seem to be scheduled to do another Thereping showing 
soon, I'd like to get some FOLKS to help reVISIT and experiment with the 
code on those to make the Therepings play different OCTAVES and maybe 
DIFFERENT patterns so as to get rid of the skull-piercing beepy-beepy 
MIDI-NESS..

I was thinking maybe add some small pager motors to the unit that would 
"pulse" EACH time the unit played a note to help the player "feel" that 
the instrument is actually "doing" something.

So, anyone bored and looking for phun this weekend? :)

Vern
