Servo motor demo

[visserindn341]

Exploded view of full prototype. This unit measures 240x216x115mm

Grid of 6x6 3D printed actuator gears and servo motor

Designed to be slotted in and out of the frame easily for assembly

[visserindn341]

Exploded view of new motor gear set

This design includes slots so that more actuator sets can be linked together in a grid formation

Exploded view plan for the board

[visserindn341]

I designed an actuator for the small servo motor I had.

Unfortunately this design takes up quite a lot of room. But it is the only way I can see it being built for a reasonable price.

The dimensions of this mean that if I were to evolve this into a 6x6 grid (want maximum for best detail) it would be be around a 200x200mm square box.

The hight of the box will depend on the length of the straight gear and will be around twice its hight.

My next step is to design a layout for a grid of these to be used

Procedure Questions

a)Context: 

-What is your creative creatorfor?

To feel the landscape

-Where would it be placed?

This unrefined model would be placed in someone's home. Smaller iterations could be used in cars/planes

-Who would be interested in using,experiencing or interacting with it?

It would mainly be people with visual impairments but it could also be used for architectural modelling for eg

-Why is it innovativeand meaningful?

Nothing like this had been made before. Through research I have seen one other conceptual model that had the same idea. Completely new way of looking at things for the blind community

-Does the output visualise or materialise the input in an impressive and provocative way?

With topological maps being freely available, it is something that can now be fully utilised

b)Type and range of input:

-How can it receive/find/sensethe input?

The map will be loaded up through NASA/Google onto the inboard arduino

-What are the maximum and minimum, or possible values of the input?

For instance, current wind speed can be measured using a sensoror obtained from an online source, but you need to set a range of wind speeds to be represented by your creative creator, such as 0-250 km/h. In case your creative creatorreceives images or movements, decide the type and size of the input.

c)Output:

-Envisage visual, tangible and emotional qualities the output is intended to demonstrate.

-How do the form and quality of the output produced by your creative creator represent different valuesor typeof input?

-How long would it take to complete a single instance of production/demonstration?

The prototype will not be real time, but allow you to upload any location from around the world

-Is the output permanent or temporary?

Temporary

Is the output to be reused, stored or discarded?

Could include a resently searched section

-Would the outputundergo a change over time(4D)?

-Can multiple pieces of the output form a collectionas a wholelike a mosaic?

d)Mechanism:

-Sketchthe overall structure of your creative creatoreven roughly.

-Which part of the structureisresponsible for accepting the input and producing the output, respectively?

-How would it process the material to produce the output?

Arduino code

-Find products, equipment or toysthat include a structure or process similar or relevant to that of your creative creatorandsee if you can adapt it foryour design.

e)Impact:

-Is your creative creator appropriate for and sensational to its targetaudience?

-What is desired emotional/psychological impact on the audience?

-Do you want to deliver a social messageusing your creative creator?

Something completely new for the visualy impaired

-Is your creative creator to interact with audience?If so, what is its main interaction?
