In other words, writing a song these days does not have to be that hard!Īnd of course, anytime there's money to be made, you're going to have your share of snake oil salesmen and charlatans looking to make a quick buck. There’s just so much available to writers and producers! The downside of this, of course, is wading through all of that technology to find the worthwhile best songwriting software.

A $200 laptop with free songwriting software is more powerful, and often better sounding, say than a $10,000 studio 20 years ago.Īn off-brand smartphone is 1000x times more powerful than the studios The Beatles were using to record their classic albums. This is a video game themed puzzle box based run on an Arduino Mega.We are living in a Golden Age of technological tools to unleash creativity. I just used what I had laying around, so if you wanted to build something like this yours will likely be different.

MASTERWRITER UPDATE HOW TO

I wanted this tutorial to be more about the idea of the puzzle box and how to do a few general things instead of how to replicate my exact puzzle box. #MASTERWRITER 2 STOP SHOWING SERIAN NUMBER HOW TO# I feel like I'm just starting on this project and there's a lot more that could be done with it.ġ. Running motors, servos and steppers (using the motor shield)ĥ.Ĭonnecting a bunch of LEDs to a projectĤ. Connecting an Xbee if you don't have room for the shieldĦ. Remote Controlling your application from a web application over Xbeeħ. Connecting to I2C devices (LCD, Wiimote, another Arduino)įor the puzzles I thought I'd all for Myst type puzzles (you've been given a box, figure it out), and Mario style (generally you know what you're supposed to do, sometimes you even get a chance to practice parts of it before doing it for real).

The attached video shows a 'level' where you have to put the Contra code in on buttons that look kind of like a NES controller. I used an Adafruit motor shield to run the motor on the gun and the servo to trigger the shots. To use the motor shield I simply connected a battery pack (4 AA's in series) to the power terminals on the sheld. I connected the servo to servo terminal 0 on the shield.

I've attached a sketch below showing how it's used.

I was using an Arduino Mega 2560 and was having problems with running steppers with the library provided by Adafruit, until I figured out there was an update then it all started working correctly.

#MASTERWRITER 2 STOP SHOWING SERIAN NUMBER UPDATE# To run a servo with the motor shield, it's exactly like running a servo connected directly to an Arduino. In fact all the motor shield does is give you a convenient 3 pin header to connect to. GOTCHA - According to the FAQ Arduino Pin 9 goes to Servo Header 1 and Pin 10 goes to Servo Header 2. On mine it was backwards (Pin 9 -> Servo Header 2, Pin 10 -> Servo Header 1). To control a motor you basically set it up and tell it what port it's connected to, set the speed and direction and let it go. If you don't connect external power to the shield motors won't work (even though steppers do).Ĭheck out the code attached to this step. Note: obviously this could be done without the motor shield, but I had one around and was using an Arduino Mega, so I had plenty of pins.
