Default older verison of vsa

Capt. Jack,
When I try one of your routines, I get this error message:


This routine was created using an older version of VSA.
The Routine will be updated to the current version when saved.

I cannot get it to open with a wave file in the wave view area of vsa. And I get no sound at all. If I try to save it in vsa. The program completely shuts down.


What can I try to resolve this?

This happened to me too. What I did was convert the wav file to Mp3. Load just the VSA file, get the "...will convert when saved" messege, then load the mp3 file seperatly. Save the whole routine, then when you reload it should work. There must be some conflict between the different VSA versions when WAVS are used.

What is everyone using to connect their jaw servos to the jaw? I was thinking about using a piece of coat hanger. Also can someone post a a couple of pix on where they drilled the holes on a Lindberg to run the wire for the jaw?

Thanks!

I used a piece of welding wire. I got it from my friend with the machine shop, so I don't know the exact diameter, but it was thinner than coathanger wire and easier to bend into the holes on the servo arm.

If anyone that works with welding wire can recommend a good one, that would be helpful. I know it came from McMaster-Carr

Hey halloween Bob
You are the Guttenberg of the talking skull the head Bone Daddy guru. I have been working on my skull all day with pre-made parts and crying like a little girl. I am amazed at what you did from scratch. My hats off to you.
