Project 2 Result!

 *insert video of project working for 30 seconds* For this project I was inspired by the movie Spirited Away. I really enjoy Ghibli films, and when the project was presented, I thought the cam motion was very impressive, so I wanted to combine these interests into one project. (I also thought it would be good to have an idea from the start of the project, rather than take a week to figure it out haha) The idea behind this project was to take the wave motion created by cams and use it to make it look like a dragon - in this case, Haku from Spirited Away - look like it is flying. During this project, I learned about gear ratios by designing my own gears to slow the motion of the motor down. I also laser cut cams out of balsa wood, made a wooden box for the base, and cut into the box with a drill and a saw. My handmade and homemade object was a sewn dragon made to look like Haku, although he was missing his horns. The biggest difficulty in making this automata was getting the cams to ...

Project 3 Programming Practice

Connecting servo motors: Code to move servos: from servo import Servo import time   sg90_servo = Servo(pin=26)  #To be changed according to the pin used servo2 = Servo(pin=22) while True:     sg90_servo.move(135)  # turns the servo to 0°.     servo2.move(45)     time.sleep(1)     #sg90_servo.move(90)  # turns the servo to 90°.     #servo2.move(90)     #time.sleep(1)     #sg90_servo.move(180)  # turns the servo to 180°.     #time.sleep(1) Code to make servos wiggle with proximity sensor: from machine import Pin from servo import Servo import utime import time trigger = Pin(27, Pin.OUT) echo = Pin(28, Pin.IN) sg90_servo = Servo(pin=26) def ultra():    trigger.low()    utime.sleep_us(2)    trigger.high()    utime.sleep_us(5)    trigger.low()    while echo.value() == 0:        signaloff = utime.ticks_us() ...
