I hacked a singing fish.

Ғылым және технология

I brought a 90s classic fish back to life to sing various songs. Here is a video of the process behind the fish that were made famous on Tiktok.
Note: I call it a Billy Mouth Bass as a nick name.
Items That were not a Banana:
-Teensy Microcontroller by PJRC /w Breadboard
-2x 18650 Batteries
-18650 battery holder
-2 Channel Motor Driver 5v/12v
-28 AWG Jumper cables
Link to Arduino Code: tinyurl.com/p62a5f3k

    Same. When they went to the chorus I just died laughing. I think mostly because I remember how my dad bought one - but from that point forward he hated them. Never could clearly explain why. He would of really freaked over a wall of them.

    Hey, I've collected singing fish for a few years now and I just want to warn you. The fish with only two motors contain a part in the central mechanism called the whistle piece, which often break under stress and heavy use. It's more likely to happen on the older ones, like cool catfish and jaws. I think you'vee done a really good job at bringing new life to them all, but if that piece breaks you need to get it custom made. Oh, and three motor fish don't use it, so they should be fine! Sorry for the long comment and have a great day! Brandon

    Not a expert, but i'm guessing its all in the code. Each fish is sent same audio witch gets processed and there is just code limiting witch parts that particular board does not play. Not sure if there is software around that can do it automatically, but guess its possible by audio analyzing certain sounds. Really dont know much about coding side, witch is why most of my ideas are grounded. I'm more of mechanical engineer than software.

    First of all, I love how you have so many interactive cat toys, the fish for your cat. I bought the goldfish colored one, my male cat likes it, but it's scared of it at the same time. This he'll go up to where y'all smack it, and then he'll run away. 😁 this video, I was dying because I was visually imagining the wall of fish talking and singing in my male cat just pretty much 💩 on himself. This is all I need a simple geeky guy, who likes cats and likes to make average objects do funny things.😹

    My 12 year old daughter asked for a Billy Big Mouth Bass for Christmas and I couldn't figure out why. She said she saw one on KZread. When I asked her which song she would like it to sing, she said "Wellerman". I wasn't familiar with it, so I looked up the song and that's how I found this video. Now I really want a Billy Big Mouth Bass! I am developing a Robotics course for high school students that includes Arduino and I think the students would love this.

    Do you have to have the stem files to be able to sync the mouths to individual vocal tracks? i guess if it's alexa playing some song it found, it wouldn't be coming through as a stem file, so i have to wonder what the actuators are triggering on. you can perform a near-real-time FFT on the audio and obtain spectral data on what "notes" are the most pronounced at any given time, but that doesn't work as effectively with sounds that don't have a distinct pitch/harmonics to them like drums, which may introduce some degree of noise in the spectral data.
