What a trip... I also built a Guitar Hero "bot" some 13 years ago.
Mine was not mechanical like this. Instead I spliced into the guitar with a microcontroller that I controlled via serial port from my laptop. I wrote software that analyzed recordings of the note chart, saved them to a file, and could play them back over the serial port by telling my microcontroller program what buttons to press.
I don't have any pictures of the thing any more, but some of the YouTube videos live on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1YE8Wwo2rs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1YE8Wwo2rs
- nik12795 6y agoWow how crazy is that! That’s really great. Obviously I had the privilege to leverage modern tech with CV, but amazing that you were able to accomplish it 13 years ago!
- kevinherron 6y agoYour version is so much cooler. It’s more like what I had in my head but wasn’t able to accomplish :)
- nik12795 6y agoThanks!! It was super challenging but it was a fun time and the payoff of it shredding was well worth it
