When do you think the “How to” will be up for others to try to build? Also you should really think about selling bots I think you would make a lot of money.
I’m interested in the bot, and the steps you need to make it. I am very good at guitar hero,I almost beat both Jordan and TTFT on 98%. But I am a computer technology geek, so I want to know how to build one. If you can give me any information on it, please email me, it would be appriciated.
I started a guitar hero robot about the same time as jeremy blum did, but had literally no money because im only 15, if your good at electronics you`ll find that its not that hard to build, ive got almost all of it working perfectly, the only part i know need is the controller, donations welcome. Keep checking my youtube account joepage2008×2, i’ll post it as soon as possible
Jay and Tyler - We’re very sorry that we do not have lists and schematics up yet. we are working on a contest submission and some other stuff, and have decided not to post everything until that is done. I promise we will try our best to get them up soon.
Ryan- It will get a bunch of achievements, but not all.
was it easy making that work of a genius!can you simply send me an easy way to make a bot playing machine on yahoo.com/psssst/i’m on in 3rd grade.and im only 8 years old.but can you send me it,i’ll look at my mail on yahoo.com tomorro,thanks
Max-It is possible, and we have brainstormed a way to do it. The mic is only sensitive to frequencies, so that could easily be mimiced with a piezo speaker, or we could just wire right in and modulate the frequency of the voltage. For the drums, the only difficulty is the bass pedal line, which would be detected as all the notes. That could be overcome by having several levels of sensors so we know the thickness of what is being detected.
Logan-Whatever is available in terms of information about the bot is already available on this website. I can’t just send an “easy way” to make a guitar hero bot. It took 8 weeks, 6 people, advanced programming, and a knowledge of physics/electrical systems. You can keep checking back for a tutorial here, but I’m not sure if/when that will be available.
Would the system function (without the automated whammy, star power and delay) without the incorporation of the parallax propeller board, eliminating the need for software?
So just using the relays as switches controlled directly by the digital input from the sensors?
You may be able to get it to function in that way, but it would work very poorly. The software is needed for filtering, lining up the notes, and adding the delay for the distance between the sensors and the bottom of the screen.
I think that plans should not be available to anyone on the internet, i think that people should work it out themselves. If you know a bit about programming and electronics then its not as hard as you think, the problem is the price it costs to build one, ive now spent up to Ā£70(british pounds)on mine and thats just on the components, breadboards, prototyping, i have put this project on hold because at the moment i am spending money on my GCSE electronics project. The circuit works fine, i now just need to get and extremely cheap controller. I cant wait to compare my results to jeremy, they should be very similar.
I definitely agree that the fun part is figuring out the solution to this surprisingly challenging problem on your own. Good luck with your project, I look forward to seeing the result. Maybe when you are done, we can pit them against each other in an online battle :)
It’s hard to say an exact price, but if you include everything (even the things we didn’t necessarily use it was probably somewhere around 6-700 dollars. That is a very rough estimate.
This particular bot will not work on the PS2 because it uses a different controller. But the exact same system could certainly be installed in a PS2 guitar without a problem.
Does this give u a 100% on the songs
not always; it is still undergoing tweaking, but we hope to be very close to that with the finalized bot.
Do you guys sell finished bots?
not now, but it is possibility.
Hey were did you get your op-amps from? I need ones exactly like those
They are Texas Instruments OPA2340. We ordered them from digikey.com
Hey Could you send me the schematic of the op-amp and the phototransistor??
We will try to make it available eventually.
What are some projects like this that other high school students can do for their senior internships? Do you have any spin-off projects?
WIll it work on Rock Band?
Yes, we have successfully tested it playing guitar in rockband.
you should sell the bots on ebay u could make some big cash
about how much do you guys think the finalized bot will actually cost?
I would totally buy one if you ever did start selling them. Email me if you ever decide to.
When do you think the “How to” will be up for others to try to build? Also you should really think about selling bots I think you would make a lot of money.
I am willing to purchase one immediately, please contact me at: n2dayc@yahoo.com
I’d definately buy one, if they were made available. Short of that, I’d stumble through the DIY instructions for a few weeks attempting it myself.
If you sell any bots, Can you get them at a electronics store, or get them on the internet, like Amazon.com.
The bots are not currently available for sale.
Heh - for drums, it’ll only need one more sensor - to sense the yellow line for foot pedalling. Is that correct?
The microphone…could be a lot more difficult.
Good luck.
When will They be for sale?
Not at this time.
im no electrician but do u need extra parts besides whats in the guitar controller?
Yes, you need all the parts for the photosensors.

Will this get you all the achievements easily?
What is the time line for the finalized schematics, and can you post the beta or current version of the schematics?

Is it possible to make a Bot for the drums and microphone for Rock Band?

is it cheap to build because i dont personally have gh3 but my mates does and if it cost under Ā£20 il make him 1..
That would not be nearly enough.
Would the system function (without the automated whammy, star power and delay) without the incorporation of the parallax propeller board, eliminating the need for software?

Can I work on GH1?
Not in it’s current form because it is in an Xbox 360 USB controller. So It will only work with Xbox360 and PC versions of the game.
Just out of curiosity how much did it cost to make the bot in u.s. dollers + the cost of xbox and game
It’s hard to say an exact price, but if you include everything (even the things we didn’t necessarily use it was probably somewhere around 6-700 dollars. That is a very rough estimate.
