Project: Motorized Madness!

eiteher way dude, that looks &^%*&G sweet dude

[Darth Dad]

This is one sweet mod!

On a different note don't let the Chron's get you down. My mother got diagosed with it in her early 20's and is still going strong now in her mid 60's.

Thanks for the words of encouragment, I appreciate it!

I missed the chrons deal somewhere. Sorry about that. My mom, and aunt have it, and my grandmother had it. Grandma was in her 70's (didn't take care of it like she should have), and my mom and her sister are both in their 50's. Just regulate with diet. If you haven't tried it yet, my mom said that remacade worked well for her.

This mod is looking sweet. I can't wait to see more!

Remicade is effective but expensive as hell, hope your insurance is good.

I absolutely love how this mod is turning out, the light playing off those gears is awesome! Can't wait to see the videos! *hint

That lighting looks awesome mate. Sorry I forgot to add that my switch isn't momentary, it's one of those rocker switches (ones that come stock with standard CCFL kits). Thanks for your help though, looks like I have to do a bit of soldering. +rep for the help mate and an INSANE mod

EDIT: need to spread some rep first

Can't wait to see the videos! *hint

Working on it. -I have alot of wiring to get done first before I can power it up. -not to mention individual programming of each servo for start location, end location, speed and timing between other servos. -going to take some work there. -But I will get a video going soon.

[rendermandan]

Just ask, and ye shall receive.

-all I did last night was mount the base to the case. -sorry for the crappy picture. Not sure what happened. -I simply drilled and tapped a few holes in the base and secured it to the bottom with some cap head allen machine screws.

-This is probably premature, but, I hauled the whole thing upstairs and went to town on programming the servos. -I had to do each one individually and then write a script to send each command to the servo controller.

I made 2 versions. The first one has all the servos opening at the same time. and same speed. The reason they don't all finish at the same time is because each servo has to travel a different distance. So to make them start and end at the same time, would take some more programming to set the speed of each on to match.

Then for closing I just told all of them to close real fast. (Could go faster!)

Here is a video showing this setup.

Next I programmed it to open each item sequentially. So the speed does not matter. I didn't change how they closed yet.

So what do you think? Do you like them opening all together or seqentially? or how about the speed? Too Fast or slow?

Thanks!

the speed could be a tad slower but otherwise looks awsome! and it pwnz when they all open at the same time, but since the leds shine trough cant you make them go on and off

+rep indeed
