Hello,
I want to give a relative an animatronic.
I want to do an animatronic music show, but I am new.
I am going to use 5 servo motors, I have an Arduino UNO board, but if necessary I would buy a better one.
The question is, I want to do an animatronic music show, but I don't know how to program the servo motors and synchronize the music with the program. I have been told that it can be done with MIDI, but I have no idea how it is done or what program to use.
Can someone help me?
Thank you.
Controlling 5 servo using an UNO is no problem. However, the music is. Using an UNO You will need a separate music player being told by the UNO to play this or that music.
Thanks for answering!
How can I program? I have never programmed, nor do I know which program to use.
Thank you
That's troubelling a bit.
You need some kind of a cource in programming unless You can start using example tasks and go on from that. Knowing/learning programming is not like going to the chemist, buy a pill and swallow it.
Ok, i will try to find information thanks.

There are examples with the Servo library.
roberc37, welcome to the forum.

It is confusing and wasted effort to have multiple threads on the same subject going.
You mention an arduino UNO. What other hardware do you have? Hobby servos? Which model?
As for where to start, the servo sweep tutorial is a great place. Note that the tutorial shows powering the servo from the 5v pin. This is NOT the way to go with multiple servos that are actually moving things. Google "arduino servo separate power supply". 4 AA batteries are reasonable.
For your project, you could construct a framework of code that reads a list of servo position and time data. Kick off the program at the same time the music kicks off. You could then process the list of movements that you build to match the music.
But start out with the sweep tutorial. We can build from there.
"I'm going to make an animatronic with 5 servo motors and an Arduino UNO board, but I don't know how to program it, nor what program to use."
You might give some details on the "what program to use". Do you expect to develop program routines for the animatronic to run/perform?
