Semaphore-bot v3.0.alpha


Untitled from Andrew Parnell on Vimeo.


Semaphore-bot 3.0 is on its way!

I went through and rewrote the control code from the ground up in PERL, letting me eliminate processing from the equation all together and making everything run more efficiently.

I also built some gear boxes so that I no longer need to stack servos.

All in all, major improvements all around.

Tomorrow I rebuild the casing and get it ready for show.

what are you using for stand-ins for the flags? It looks like clarinet orsaxaphone reeds!

They're pieces of chipboard actually.
