This is exactly the type of innovation that keeps me glued to this forum. Can't wait to see the execution. Good teasers. ;D |

I'll add another, this is the compartment that holds the light gun, there is one on each side of the cabinet. I'm using a servo to raise and lower the gun, the hardest part was making everything light enough so the servo would be able to raise it. In order to make things as light as possible I also replaced the USB cable that came with the Aim-Trak kit with a thinner one from Pololu, I checked with Andy from Ultimarc if it would be OK and he said there should be no problem. I am automating it with DaOld Man's yet to be released plug-in, controlchoose. I'll let DaOld Man explain how it works when all the kinks are worked out. |

Really looking forward to this aswell. The more info you can give us on servo/actuator set ups etc the better please :applaud: . Would love to try something like this in time but I've no idea about setting one up. |

Since this was my first build and being someone who likes a challenge, I decided I wanted a rotating monitor and rotating control panels. The monitor's rotation was motorized and operated with a DPSTswitch and the control panels were rotated by opening the front door and revolving the panels by hand. Here is what it originally looked like. I was happy with the result, of course there were things I wish I had done better but it didn't turn out too bad. Then one day I read about DaOld Man's StartCom and MRotate and everything changed. I contacted Ken about MRotate who generously helped me to automate my monitor rotation. When I mentioned to him that I also have rotating control panels, he commented how cool it would be to automate them and that one comment was the start of this difficult crazy journey. More to come.... |
