Imperial March on Lego motors
Ғылым және технология
Lego motor DUO plays Star Wars: The Imperial March. Enjoy!
Bass: Lego Buggy motor (5292c01)
Baritone: Lego 9V Heavy Mini-Motor (71427c01)
The music is generated with PWM signals of varying frequencies. The same thing that causes the annoying whining noise you may have noticed with Lego Rechargeable Battery Box, SBrick and BuWizz. Guitar Pro tab, Raspberry Pi and Python code needed. Read more in my blog:

Imagine putting the grey one in a Lego r2d2 and have have it talk for him would be amazing 😊

@@dkbmaestrorules I think it was almost done this way, but probably the string was cut off before Vader was tied to it. The knot shortened the string, and that's why Vader is lifted a bit in the end as if the string's half a centimeter too short.

That's definitely not the most impressive thing about this
Okay, hear me out: - Double or tripple the motors. Their response will be slightly different, creating an unison/chorus effect. - Keep everything on a piece of wood as resonance body. - Get hold of a "contact microphone" (probably not the right term for it) to pick up the piece of wood directly - Make multiple recordings, with the motors and mic being in different positions. Since you're sending "notes" from an external app, the timing should be 99% reproducible. Mixing the different tracks would give it some "volume" (not in the sense of loudness, but broadness ... if that makes any sense)

He need more motors - and more googley eyes!
When i was in engineering school we had a water facility simulator, essentially just two tanks with a speed variable pump in between and some valves controlled by a logic controller. me and my friend were bored in between classes so we made a program that used the pumps pwm controller to play old macdonald. Ah the good old days when life was simple.
The sound the lego motors made INSTANTLY reminded me of the motors you hear in Floppy Drive music. Well done!

Do not underestimate the power of the motor controller
I would just like to point out this is exactly how the Floppotron started... and I for one cannot wait...

"Just coming up with this idea is amazing!" --- the idea is not new at all. Encapsulation the motors with LEGO plastic is.
NICE! I didn't think I would start my day by hear lego motors sing the Imperial March! good stuff!
Having the motor pulling Darth Vader was a nice touch.
We slowly going from Lego Engineering to Lego Music. Wow.
Hearing the simplified version of this song with basically midi notes gives me a higher appreciation for this song. Truly a banger.
This was far more impressive than I was expecting. Nice job!
0:27 What a fantastic approximation of R2-D2 - Honestly, if you were to "simulate" all of R2's beeps and whistles with this motor, it could practically pass for an entirely new droid "speaking" in Binary. Very cool!
The Force Is Strong With This One! Now you can create your own subgenre of mechanical music, similar to floppy disc reader music!
Many things have been made with Legos, but I never thought I'd see and hear a symphonic orchestra... MOST IMPRESSIVE!
Absolutely fantastic. I have seen many interpretations of the StarWars symphony, but this one is unique. Plus, you bring together two passions: SW and Lego. Bravo! Greetings from Spain.
A wonderful performance by the LEGO Motor Duo
Well done! I especially ❤’d the bit where Vader edges across on the thread. Thank you.
I wonder why two lego motors can play better music than I can
Love this, reminds me of an old youtube video i revisit from time to time. The imperial march performed by floppy drives.

It took me a second to realize what that cacophony of plips from the grey one was. I'm honestly impressed you managed to make a motor sound like r2d2
Vibrato was a nice touch

Vader and the vibrato were nice touches!
"what instrument do you play?" brick experiment: lego motors
Haha, this is a fun way to play!👍
This is the same technique drones use to make noise without a speaker. And it can get really loud with powerful motors.
Very impressive, sounds like the GBA soundfont
Floppotron 3.0: Finally! A worthy opponent!
When I noticed the string on the "bass" motor knew something great was coming XD
**I LOVE the crazy* things people use to make music sound. Amazing Video! & great Video*
If the empire kept the droid army
This is true engineering, solving problems nobody knew needed solving.
Should have put a Lego lightsaber in the motor would have looked awesome ...great job.
The force is strong with this one.
