This week I worked on the motor labs setting up three different systems. It was interesting using different motors than the servos I’ve been experimenting with for my previous projects.
I was having a hard time with my power source, so I took out the power supply to make sure that the motors were, in fact, working correctly. They were. It turns out I needed to re-wire my power source.
With the power source sorted, everything was smooth sailing.
Introduction to H-Bridge:
I really enjoyed the dancing motor on the table.
I ended up collaborating on the last two circuits because everyone had to share parts. It was fun to test out a different board and H-Bridge.
It was late when we finished this last lab up. We wanted to laser cut a shape to spin, but the lab was shut down. In the junk pile, we found this doll with a plaster head. After a little modification, we got it mounted on the motor. It was silly, but we had fun.
