A collection of scripts I used to control multiple servo motors in sync with funky music. This project was so much fun. See the final awesome video on my blog at the link just below.

DampedServo
===========

I have always wanted to control something interesting involving little servo
motors.  That's somewhat of an ill-defined dream, isn't it? But it has all
been made possible by using my handy dandy Raspberry Pi computer, five servos,
and my son's Lego blocks.  I built a dancing robot arm and synchronized its
motion to some funky music.

Full details are available on my blog post: http://www.smokedbits.com/2013/05/dancing-lego-and-five-servos.html
