makersmakingchange / lipsync-classic Goto Github PK

Hi,

I'm at the tail end of assembling a lipsync, and have hit a small roadblock. Step 46 in the manual shows joining the joystick input onto the main PCB. When I try to do this, the headers just barely reach, and I doubt they will stay joined through prolonged use. Not unexpected, since the right angle headers are just from a drawer in my office.

My first guess to address this is to just solder the headers together, if the system needs to be serviced later they'll have to be removed and possibly replaced. But in Step 47 there's.. something else there. I can't tell from the picture, but it looks like the headers have been boosted another mm by something. Is there any documentation you can give me about that, or am I looking at the image wrong?

Thanks!

This is minor, but the comment block at or near line 307 of Lipsync_Firmware.ino - https://github.com/makersmakingchange/LipSync/blob/master/Software/LipSync_Firmware/LipSync_Firmware.ino#L307 - is now causing the compiler to emit warnings like

Hi,

In the manual, the Mouthpiece part takes me to a "product not found" page on Qosina's website.

Would this part be a suitable replacement?

Thanks,
Chris

#define LED_1 4 // LipSync LED Color1 : GREEN - digital output pin 5
#define LED_2 5 // LipSync LED Color2 : RED - digital outputpin 4

Should be .....

#define LED_2 4 // LipSync LED Color2 : RED - digital outputpin 4

There are a few places where I could help out in the documentation of the LipSync device. However, the LipSync repo only contains PDFs and not any editable sources (I don't own a license for any Adobe products, perhaps that is the prerequisite to updating the docs).

It would be great to have easily editable documentation in a format such as Markdown or similar, and then a process by which that input format can be transformed into other formats such as PDF.

Proposal for this might look like:

• Create a /doc/ folder in the repo.
• Re-create the PDF content in a Markdown file each and save them in the /doc/ folder.
• Add a script that allows people to use tools such as Pandoc to convert them to PDF.
• Consider a 'release' process that would create a zip file containing the PDF documentation.

Need to update BOM

J11 and J12 on LipSync_Main_Board should be moved about 2 mm closer to the edge of the PCB to ensure a better connection with the corresponding female headers on the LipSync_Joystick_Board.
