MECHANICAL AND LIGHT INSTALLATION
Hi! Our names are Anila Kasa, Paola Sacchi e Mohamad Haddadè!!! Together we have designed a framework that lights up and performs mechanical movements through Arduino programming.
Supplies
The materials needed to build it were:
-wooden boards
- electrical cables for arduino
-4 servo motors
-4 sheets to make the four fans
- a programmable led strip
-2 arduino boards
-8 potentiometers
-24 male jumpers
-2 breadboards
-Glue
-4 rods of 20 cm and 0.5 cm thick
-4 motor servo holder
-4 objects designed with fusion and printed in 3d
-8 screws
How to Make the Frame
First you need to assemble the frame.
The dimensions of the planks to be used are indicated in the photos.
To glue the planks you will need some vinavil and a lot of patience.
Welding Cables and Fans
Now we need to weld the cut leds with the arduino cables and glue them into the four corners of the frame.
Then you need to install the servo motors with the appropriate servo holder and screws.
Finally with 4 A3 sheets we make 4 fans of 19 cm in height and 40 cm in length.
Components for Assembling Fans
Now we need to draw on fusion the supports that will be used to hook the fans to the servos, the fans have been glued to the rods with vinyl glue.
Programming on Arduino
Now we need to program the system on Arduino to make the LEDs light up and the program to make the fans move with the servo motors.
The colors can be replaced with the colors you prefer. Remember that LEDs are RGB.
Once the two programs have been programmed, the programs must be loaded into two different ports on the Arduino. Now we need to connect the jumpers to the arduino and to the electrical system and the servo motors.
Get two breadboards that you will need to put the potentiometers. Four breadboard potentiometers. The potentiometers are used to increase or decrease the intensity of the LED light and to close and open the fans.
Final Link
Now connect the programmed Arduino to a power bank and animate the frame.
