Thank you so much for this tutorial. I was able to complete my jawduino with this great video. The only issue I have been having is how to configure the audio. I am currently using an mp3 player connected to the audio jack that seems to work, except that I can figure out how to also play the audio on a speaker. I tried using an audio splitter, but that isn't working. What do you recommend?

@jaimepalomino7933 the audio splitters seem to never work. In this video, the sound going to the Jawduino is my headphone jack and the sound is coming out of my computer speakers. What I used for my last Halloween show (I uploaded a video of it), was a device that I had the sound coming from, go into a cheap mixer (less than $80) and then had the headphone jack output from mixer to Jawduino and the line output to a speaker. Does that make sense? Here’s another idea, have mp3 go into an aux port on a stereo. Use another audio cable to plug into the headphone output and the other end to Jawduino. Now you should get sound from speakers and headphones. That is if your radio doesn’t cut out once headphones are plugged in. Mine doesn’t cut out. Or if speakers are detachable, just detach one speaker and use that line to Jawduino.

⁠This makes sense. Thank you

Does anyone have an idea to eliminate the crackling sound when the servo moves?

Redesigning using a stepper motor would help with the motor noise.

Good afternoon Brian, i've been tearing my hair out for a week now try to get this thing to run. I've got the led board going fine. But the Small server motor simply won't move according to dialog. I think it has something to do with the way I am extracting all three files. I got to a point yesterday where if I do the test with the single wire touching the case the motor will go back and forth. But I can't get to the point where other people have gotten. Really want to use this in a not profit haunted house this Halloween. Is there Any help you could Give me. Is there anybody out there that can help me? I've got tons and tons of electronics like power supplies, relays, switches to barter for any help you can give me. Been hoarding electrical parts and electronic parts since 1979.

I’m sorry, I’m not really great and coding and electronics so I’m not completely sure what you mean. Some questions: Does the JawDuino.ino show up as an option when uploading the library to the board? Does the audio lights activate at any level? What I have seen is a straight microphone to the audio connector won’t sense sound. I had to use it through my computer headphone Jack so the audio would activate the lights. I’ll help you through this I just need to visualize what you are doing.

Good evening Brian, thank you so much for your prompt response! @@brianbenson3091 in Mike norths original video there was a test when he touched a wire from uno pin 11 to the chrome ish uno's power receptacle cover and the servo would move back and forth, I was able to get this far. but the servo would not respond when I hooked up an old walkman AM radio to the peak level meter board whose LED's did respond according to the volume level. I chose a news broadcast with a person talking. I think my problem is with the two SoftRcPulseOut files that are needed for the loop are not being integrated in the whole page of code. Several widows pop up when I've tried uploading the code, right now I am formatting the hard drive on a laptop For Windows 10 so I have a fresh copy of Windows 10 to try to upload Mikes code to the uno. I will let you know all the messages that come up during the upload, so far I've seen several Windows Defender messages requesting my permission to go further, then there were several adafruit messages also asking for permission, and then there was a message saying "this file needs to be in a folder called jawduino, create folder and move the files?" Maybe the two SoftRc files and the ino file are being unzipped to an incorrect folder. The weekend is here and I know you will want to spend time with your family, so respond when it's convenient for you thanks Brian

When it prompts you to create the folder you will want to say yes. Make sure you also have the library SoftRcPulse. For an example, for me, my library shows this: This PC>Documents>Arduino>libraries>arduino_src>JawDuino>JawDuino.ino Also under libraries I have SoftRcPulse and SoftRCPulseOut Then you open the arduino program, go to file, open, arduino folder (mine is in documents), libraries, arduino_src, JawDuino, and click the JawDuino ino file. This will/should have all the files you need. Make sure the files needed are in the libraries folder. You may already know this or done this, but I just wanted to go over the missing file aspect you are talking about. I have no idea why windows defender is popping up for you. But with all the files downloaded and in same libraries folder, it should fix the issue. Last, double check wires to the servo. I used a bread board so I made sure at least 5v powered up LED and the Servo, both need at least that.

@@brianbenson3091 good evening Brian I've been struggling all day with this again, i turned windows defender firewall off and ICloud for Windows off because I was getting pop ups from both. Using a different Arduino board & servo than before, I got to the point again where if I touch the wire from pin number 11, the servo will go back and forth. I read your comments carefully. I have some questions. At no time did a libraries folder get created. Does the libraries folder automatically supposed to get created? What I ended up doing was making a libraries folder of my own in the Arduino folder. Then I put the arduino_ SRC in the librararies folder and in that one I put the jawduino and the two soft RC pulseout files, but I guess going back to the same question was the libraries folder supposed to be created automatically by the computer I'm using or by the Arduino program? I was really gung ho on making a bunch of these so I purchased many arduinos unos and the peak level LED boards. I rechecked all my wiring etcetera etcetera to not to a rookie mistake, everything checks out I have an external 5 Volt 3 amp power supply that is powering up the peak level board and servo. One more thing I noticed was that sometimes I downloaded the jawduino zip folder and it says it's 1999 kilobytes like in your video, but sometimes it's only 0 kilobytes and to know that it was 0 kilobytes I have to highlight the folder and look at properties. It seems to be intermittent sometimes it's the 1999 and sometimes it isn't very strange anyways have a wonderful Saturday night add respond when it's convenient for you------- thank you very much

Only thing I can think of is this; must be your file locations. As you mentioned before, if it asks you to create a folder, say yes. The Pulse libraries need to be downloaded too. There should be three folders in the library for JawDuino to work. 1. arduino_SRC (inside that folder will be the JawDuino folder that has the JawDuino.imo file) 2. The Pulse in folder 3. The Pulse out folder. So when you upload the JawDuino to the board, the code will include the other libraries. If they are showing 0kb, it’s a bad download or file, so you’ll need to download again. But remember, if you get a prompt for a new folder to be created, click yes, and make sure you see the location of that new folder, and make sure the other two folders (pulse) are in same place. Other than that, I’m not sure what else it could be.

Struggling with this build, the servo barely moves no matter what I set the parameters to. Also the indicator lights are instantly red as soon as it's powered up but goes down to 2nd green light when the audio is playing.

When I first started this, my soldering was pretty messy, so on the audio power indicator module, my soldering covered two pods instead of the one “square” like it shows in the pdf. It caused the indicator to go straight to red. Once I cleaned up my solder job, the automatic red disappeared. When audio starts and it goes to the second green, does it stay there or fluctuate?

@@brianbenson3091 it seems be working better now. Or atleast The range is better. But I need to mess with the sensitivity so syncs with the audio better. I had another controller that has a built-in lipsync featyre and i actually had to make it less sensitive to get it to look correct. So that might be the route I go with the jawduino. Are there any of settings or parameters I can mess with?

Did you have a chance to see my troubleshooting video? I found out adjusting the volume to the right level made a huge difference. Also, even the preprogrammed numbers worked good too. If you are getting some type of movement, work with volume control to find sweet spot. I also found out stereo worked better than mono, but not sure if that makes a difference.

Thank you, it worked fine - kzread.info8vptG_u7jQo
