@marcdraco Temperature, huh? Is there perhaps an optimal temperature I should be aiming for? Unfortunately, preferring mechanical engineering to electrical engineering, I deal in moving parts. I'm unsure as to the quality of one of the servos, as it was an extra piece from a friend who didn't ne...

I literally could be nothing more than the temperature of the internal timing circuit when they are running (in idle). Cheap servos (and mate, I LOVE cheap) are cheap for a reason. If you have the funds/time it might be worth swapping one for something from a better supplier. Microservos seem to be ...

Don't throw money at this until you've studied everything. I'm usually here at least once a day and while I'm on hiatus, I'll answer questions as best I can about where we are. It's a good place but until we have enough betas done, I can't say, yeah throw £60 quid at two boards which is roughly what...

@marcdraco Thank you, guess i'll wait or try and follow the original tutorial then, like i said i already gathered everything months ago, and my financial situation doesn't allow for beta testing, or anything really fancy for something like that ^^' thanks again.

@marcdraco The odd thing is it didn't always happen. It started twitching about halfway through the circuit design, which is part of why I'm so confused. Both servos were perfectly fine before--one is being powered straight from the Arduino 5v power source, and the other is powered from a 6v battery...

@bio-s Sorry to be a bother almost 4 years later, however could you please post the files for the 3/8 and 5/8 adaptors? It does seem to exist on the full model, however, unless i'm using the wrong software, I don't see a way to separate it from the rest of the model   Edit: It seems as thou...

If you start at the very end (page 40 some) and go BACK you'll find it. I don't have my servers online (house move) so things are a bit chaotic at the moment.@wecan - I hope I spelled that right - is about to do some beta testing and when this came up in the forum I think I gave him a full set of dr...

@marcdraco well cool thanks, but do you have a link then ^^' ? Because using the search function only return you talking about it, but not sharing any instructions or links to make it ^^' Mostly stuff about a varee board ? or Cerberus ?

The current version which does work BUT is a Beta (for reasons I won't worry you with) works best with lower voltage JFETs but quality and reliability are considerably improved. You should find the KiCAD 9 files under the Michelle 3.5 - a later version is planned but I need feedback (no pun) from th...

Oh man, I feel that one - sounds like the persistent whine I could never quite cure on the Michelle. It got so bad the cost of the project ballooned but in the event what we got is (while still technically a beta) a very good board indeed.But yeah, flickering servos. What they're talking about there...

Michelle 3.5 - drop me a note if you have any questions, it does need things like "impedance matching" and such, it's all in there IF you understand the lingo and can follow a schematic (which, to be fair, isn't as good as it should be due to changes in KiCAD and stuff I need to work on).But it work...

@marcdraco So what is the currently most up to date version of the microphone that can be accessed and built?

I've come up against a rather irritating problem. Whenever the program runs, the servo motors start twitching back and forth, even though they're receiving no signal from the Arduino (well, they did receive a reset signal but after that, nothing, and they still twitch). As the hopper gate is control...

@beer what are you using to clamp the pipes to the 2 heatsinks  

Songbird Michelle is the completed "pre-amp" but I don't think Matt will do a video on it unless there's a lot of interest. Michelle is highly expandable, into stereo and even DSPs but it's more costly than the original build (it's a case of balancing the cost vs. spec) and that's a far as I was abl...

@diyperks I saw on here mentioned that a version 2 was coming? But I never saw it. Was it scrapped? Is it still coming? Also how thick is the copper sheeting on the original? It isn't mentioned anywhere.

OOOh nice work man!
