Week 2

Week 2 Update

We have determined the specific parts required for this project. SpringRC SM-4303R continuous rotation servos will be used to power our machine. For our Bluetooth control we will use the Maker Shed B.L.E. 2.0 Bluetooth shield. Due to its low cost, proven support for many devices and relatively simple coding.

To power the servo's I made a whopping 7.2V 5200 mA lithium ion battery that I repurposed from a laptop.

 













Below is a scale mock up of the platform complete with powered components.

This is the led lights that will be connected to the acrylic legs. There is a microphone sound component that will be attached to the spider that will intake frequency to the led's. The microphone has built-in resistors. Think of it as an equalizer.
