Fred 453 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 PM'd you my address. It was fun to enter and great to get a couple of votes. Congratulations Mike. If I remember in time, I may do something like the @@t0mpr1c3 glowing eyes for the hedge outside my house next year. Maybe with some pager motors for vibration so it seems like something is moving around. Link to post Share on other sites
GeekDoc 226 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Maybe with some pager motors for vibration so it seems like something is moving around. I've got some "rumble" motors I salvaged from a video game controller a while ago that I've been meaning to do this with. Bigger motors, better shake! Link to post Share on other sites
mpymike 18 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Thankyou everyone! I had a whole lot of fun doing this project. Halloween evening started out really well, I also brought out the mpy creeper and zombie models and programmed up some other Launchpads with flashing led displays. There was a lot going on. However my poor ghost was so busy shuddering and rushing up and down the garden that by about 8:00pm the motor started straining for some reason, and then the string snapped :crazy: I think part of the problem was the ultrasonic detector started triggering sporadically. So at the end it was triggering and constantly on the go. I suspect that the ghost battery must of drained and the HC-SR04 started to output bad echo signals (I forgot to put fresh batteries in it, I think). Has anyone had good experience using the cheap HC-SR04 ultrasonic detectors? -mpymike bluehash 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Fred 453 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 The string snapped? That sounds like grounds for disqualification to me. ;-) dubnet 1 Link to post Share on other sites
