First soldering I've done since I was about 13 years old. Practiced on some bits of wire before hand. Confirmed everything connected properly using multi-meter continuity mode - had to re-solder a few connections.
Four views of a Hitec servo being built out with the Servo City Servo Blocks. These are hefty pieces of aluminum with a big beefy bearing at the output end. The hollow axle is splined at the servo end, so there's good positive contact with the servo's output. Altogether a nice piece of work.
Quickly put together lego prototype to make sure that the servo provides enough torque and moves fast enough to ring a real bell. The brass bell weighs around 100g, so it does pretty well.
Arduino drives the servo, when it gets a response from an off the shelf wireless doorbell.
Loc 6416 van DB Schenker staat klaar voor vertrek bij de fabriek van Elementis in Delden. Goed te zien is dat het raccordement Delden Servo midden in het bos ligt.
Not too much has changed visually, but behind the scenes I'm working on the logic for how wind should be applied.
The fan to blow is chosen by distance to the object and a check is made to see that it can reach it, previously a fan could be chosen that was close to the object, but the object could be outside of the range of motion of the servo.
The fans around the edge blow a little bit stronger than the ones inside, with the idea that it will push the object towards the middle.
I might try to make fan blowing strength also dependent on how close to the middle the angle is, so that if a fan on the edge blows on the object it won't blow it out of the fan matrix, which still happens from time to time (not shown!)
Naturally any real progress will be done by completing more hardware and doing real life tests, but I didn't have access that right now and I wanted to work a bit on this.
