  1. 200x200mm on the base. not exactly sure how high, although a guess would be about 150mm. I got all the parts for mine from ebay. cost me about £350 in total which would equate to about 540 USD.
  2. Haven't worked on anything like that for a while tbh. I have started to build my own 3D printer though which is controlled by my Arduino. I'm sure ponies will be on the list of things to print XD
  3. Sorry for late reply (don't think the @ tag worked and I haven't been online for a long time). In my video I was using the Arduino Uno. I've recently sold that onto a friend now though and have bought myself an Arduino Mega 2560 instead.
  4. I've tried this a few times now over the past few days, although unfortunately it seemed less effective than the ones in the google doc. It's probably my fault though. Maybe a lack of imagination or something.
  5. I chose my username because it's my name. Personally I'm not a big fan of making up usernames. In other forums etc I often use samp20. sam is my first name, p is the first letter of my surname, and 20 is the day of the month of my birthday. I even bought samp20.com since I use the name so much (no website there atm though).
  6. Twilight sparkle is probably my favorite, followed by Pinkie Pie or Fluttershy. I really can't decide on the rest though. They all have their own things that make them special.
  7. Thanks. I'll let you know how it goes. It might be that suggesting things to myself works better than letting others suggest to me.
  8. Has anypony got any other inductions they reccomend? Neither the regular induction or the 7 +- 2 inductions worked for me. The most that happened is I felt relaxed, but unfortunately I was still completely aware of my surroundings. I've been trying the fluttershy hypnosis most nights and a few times in the morning too, but no effects at all except for maybe a very slight feeling of a hoof. I'm starting to believe my mind is too strong to be hypnotised, but I don't want to give up yet.
  9. I came across a clopper online a few days ago. Although I don't enjoy what they do I still treat them with respect. He was actaully really helpful since I was asking him about tips for getting started with vector graphics.
  10. I've searched for similar posts although didn't come across anything, so sorry if this is a duplicate thread. I was wondering if anypony has learnt anything from MLP:FIM, or if they have come across a scenario where they have remembered one of the lessons from the show? For me my parents did a good job of teaching me as a child, but MLP has done a good job of reinforcing what I already knew. I think one of the most significant lessons is in Bridle Gossip. It teaches not to judge people by their appearance/behaviour. It's significant for me since after being diagnosed with a medical condition (Chron's disease) I've looked at other disabled people in a completely different way. For example I used to think all overweight people were just lazy and eat lots of junk food. That was wrong of me since there are people out there who have conditions where they can't help but be the way they are. Also I've found other disabled people to be some of the friendliest people I've met.
  11. I always try and post where possible, but quite a lot of the time it's not possible for me to post since I have nothing to contribute to the topic. Possibly due to my interests being significantly different to most people's.
  12. Even though I am a native English speaker I only got a measely 14,300 words. I think my intelligence is in figuring things out instead of remembering things (I'm an engineer). That score still makes me feel stupid though
  13. I'll post code later since I'm on my phone atm. I'm currently programming my arduino to read a 32mbit flash memory chip. I plan to store a piece of music on there and play it out through a speaker via a Digital to Analog converter and amplifier. The music is obviously going to be pony related. I have something similar already on my YouTube channel 20samp: EDIT: Wow I'm such an idiot. I tried to create a repository using git and somehow managed to delete everything. Oh well... time to start from scratch XD. I still have the code for the other melody project so I'll share that instead: /* MLPMelody Based on the Melody example project. */ #include "pitches.h" #define WHOLE 1.0 #define HALF 0.5 #define HALF_DOT 0.75 #define QUARTER 0.25 #define QUARTER_DOT 0.375 #define EIGTH 0.125 #define EIGTH_DOT 0.1875 #define SIXTEENTH 0.0625 float duration = 2000; //~80bpm // notes in the melody: int melody[] = { NOTE_FS5, NOTE_A5, NOTE_FS5, NOTE_E5, NOTE_A5, NOTE_D5, NOTE_E5, NOTE_D5, NOTE_CS5, NOTE_A4, NOTE_B4, NOTE_CS5, NOTE_D5, NOTE_E5, NOTE_D5, 0, NOTE_CS5, NOTE_D5, NOTE_E5, NOTE_D5, /*NOTE_D5*/ NOTE_FS5, NOTE_FS5, NOTE_FS5, NOTE_FS5, 0, NOTE_D5, NOTE_E5, NOTE_D5, NOTE_FS5, NOTE_E5, NOTE_D5, 0, NOTE_CS5, NOTE_D5, NOTE_E5, NOTE_D5, 0, NOTE_D5, NOTE_E5, NOTE_FS5, 0, NOTE_A5, 0, NOTE_FS5, 0, NOTE_E5, NOTE_D5, NOTE_FS5, NOTE_E5, 0, NOTE_D5, NOTE_D5, NOTE_D5, NOTE_D5, NOTE_FS5, NOTE_A5, NOTE_B5, 0, NOTE_A5, NOTE_D5, NOTE_E5, 0, NOTE_E5, 0, NOTE_E5, NOTE_FS5, NOTE_E5, NOTE_FS5, 0, NOTE_E5, 0, NOTE_D5, NOTE_E5, 0, NOTE_FS5, NOTE_D5, NOTE_A5, NOTE_A5, NOTE_A5, NOTE_B5, 0, NOTE_A5, NOTE_D5, NOTE_E5, 0, NOTE_E5, 0, NOTE_E5, NOTE_A5, 0, NOTE_B5, 0, NOTE_A5, NOTE_A5, 0, NOTE_FS5, NOTE_G5, NOTE_D5, 0, NOTE_CS5, NOTE_D5, NOTE_E5, NOTE_D5, 0, NOTE_D5, NOTE_E5, NOTE_FS5, NOTE_D5, NOTE_G5, NOTE_FS5, NOTE_E5, 0, NOTE_D5, NOTE_FS5, NOTE_E5, NOTE_D5 /*NOTE_D5*/ }; float noteDurations[] = { EIGTH, EIGTH, EIGTH, QUARTER, QUARTER_DOT, EIGTH, EIGTH, EIGTH, QUARTER, QUARTER_DOT, QUARTER, QUARTER, QUARTER, QUARTER, EIGTH_DOT, SIXTEENTH, SIXTEENTH, EIGTH, EIGTH_DOT, QUARTER_DOT+ SIXTEENTH, SIXTEENTH, SIXTEENTH, SIXTEENTH, SIXTEENTH, SIXTEENTH, SIXTEENTH, EIGTH, EIGTH, EIGTH, EIGTH_DOT, EIGTH_DOT, SIXTEENTH, SIXTEENTH, EIGTH, EIGTH_DOT, EIGTH_DOT, QUARTER, SIXTEENTH, SIXTEENTH, EIGTH, SIXTEENTH, SIXTEENTH, SIXTEENTH, SIXTEENTH, SIXTEENTH, EIGTH, SIXTEENTH, EIGTH, QUARTER, SIXTEENTH, SIXTEENTH, SIXTEENTH, SIXTEENTH, EIGTH, EIGTH, SIXTEENTH, SIXTEENTH, SIXTEENTH, QUARTER, SIXTEENTH, SIXTEENTH, SIXTEENTH, SIXTEENTH, SIXTEENTH, EIGTH, EIGTH, SIXTEENTH, SIXTEENTH, SIXTEENTH, QUARTER, SIXTEENTH, SIXTEENTH, SIXTEENTH, SIXTEENTH, EIGTH, SIXTEENTH, SIXTEENTH, SIXTEENTH, SIXTEENTH, SIXTEENTH, SIXTEENTH, EIGTH_DOT, EIGTH, SIXTEENTH, SIXTEENTH, SIXTEENTH, SIXTEENTH, EIGTH, SIXTEENTH, SIXTEENTH, SIXTEENTH, SIXTEENTH, SIXTEENTH, SIXTEENTH, SIXTEENTH, SIXTEENTH, EIGTH, EIGTH_DOT, SIXTEENTH, SIXTEENTH, EIGTH, EIGTH_DOT, EIGTH, QUARTER, SIXTEENTH, SIXTEENTH, EIGTH, SIXTEENTH, EIGTH, EIGTH, EIGTH, SIXTEENTH, EIGTH, EIGTH, EIGTH, SIXTEENTH + QUARTER }; void setup() { // iterate over the notes of the melody: for (int thisNote = 0; thisNote < 116; thisNote++) { int noteDuration = duration*noteDurations[thisNote]; tone(8, melody[thisNote],noteDuration); // to distinguish the notes, set a minimum time between them. // the note's duration + 30% seems to work well: int pauseBetweenNotes = noteDuration * 1.30; delay(pauseBetweenNotes); // stop the tone playing: noTone(8); } } void loop() { // no need to repeat the melody. }
  14. Hmmm, that's a tough question. I have a keen interest in electronics, so maybe a computer chip. I'm not sure that would look very good though.
