I'm recommending the Lynxmotion SSC-32. It runs 32 servos, while the Parallax, only 16 for the same cost. To run 32 servos, or 8 skulls, you'd need a second Parallax, for another $40. The SSC-32 is the board HalloweenBob and EvilBob are using, it's better supported by VSA, and it's designed specifically for Hitec servos.
A unique "Group Move" allows any combination of servos to begin and end motion at the same time, even if the servos have to move different distances.
ok I have a call into the Lynxmotion people to get a bulk rate, Hopefully They will return my call soon!! don't buy anything on the servo controller page just yet, The price is not set firm Yet !
Thanks I will let you know when Blinky
The Lynx board doesnt record, it is run by VSA, which can have a song or spoken dialog .mp3 or .wav file imported into it. The board is plugs into your computer's serial port. If you want to have a controller that can play without a computer, they are out there, I just dont remember which ones. I think Dudedrummer(a member here) uses one. If you arrre going to have it just talk without using a computer, then another board might better work for you.
Hi Di, you can run a longer cable between the laptop(say just inside the door of the house) and the display, I think you can run a serial cable abt 100' or so without any trouble.
I started thinking abt your payment.. I should refund your shipping amt and just meet up halfway to handoff the servos.. Whats prob easier, since you arrre a lot closer to Franks than I am, you can pick up your own servos and save the shipping cost.. lemme know what u wanna do..
Also, would it help if I said I get a discount using Fedex? Cause I do.
Me too, our only problem is that they would prob go all the way to Membis to get to you.. If you wanna plan on it, as soon as I get them, I'll call for a meet up, or you can pick up..
