Computer playing StepMania with servos

Computer plays StepMania CVS 4, controlling servos to press the arrow keys according to step sequences in StepMania files. It's my latest project, and this is a mere prototype. Lots more info and quite a bit of showing off in the video. It plays "Overdrive" (for the sake of avoiding typing a really long title which I can't translate) by IOSYS, and even gets a toasty on "Piano Variation for Remilia Scarlet". For the technically-minded, I'm using an SSC-32 (microcontroller), and 4 Hextronik 5gr (HXT500) micro servos. The program was made with Visual Basic. The first song can be found in Touhou (1st) SM pack: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=U... The second song's from Otaku's Dream 2nd Video Game Mix, which can be got from here: http://www.otakusdream.com/

thats amazing.. you're truly gifted if this is what is produced out of your "boredom". When the day comes that you need to really focus on something you'll be astounding awesome

Haha... well, I wouldn't be too surprised if he could beat me (myself - although you might want to check my more recent StepMania videos). Also, these servos are easy to beat just by jolting things near them since they come off the keyboard... although they also manage to make themselves lose like that by themselves. I only made the thing because I was bored - funny how much of my things come about from boredom...

Thanks. I think the best it will ever get is AA, though, since it's almost impossible to make it hit the first note in a song. Since my program's separate from StepMania, it takes a slight bit of trial-and-error to get it in sync at the start of a song (I don't show that here, though). I'm glad you like it, though!

nice programming :D you should make it some hard song AAA like Disregard or something :D awesome

nice nice dude, if those servos are securely placed with a laptop-ish keyboard, it'll probably beat me in game lol

you should build those into your keyboard so it looks like your keys ar being pressed by an inviseble man lol.
