Moving Head Light with Servo

thingiverse

This Amazing Moving Light is a Sight to Behold!! It's Powered by Some Servo Motors and a Dose of Programming that Makes it all Happen, and I Must Say, it's Absolutely Thrilling to Watch! If You're Like Me, You'll Want More Than One - A Basic Arduino Code is on Its Way, but You Can Go Wild with the Components and the Programming! I Initially Created a Version Without Any Servo Motors, Which Allowed Me to Tackle Some Initial Challenges. So, for Those of You Who Prefer a More Static Version of this Light, Check Out This Link: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:939239 This Project is Now Complete - I Tried Adding a Third Servo Motor Inside to Create an Added Effect, but Assembling it Was a Nightmare! However, You Can Now Download a Small Test Code Made for the Arduino Pro, Which Will Perform a Sweep with All Servo Motors and Vary the PWM of the LED. Enjoy! What's Next? Electric Circuit Diagram Print Settings Printer Brand: Solidoodle Printer: Workbench Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2 Infill: 5 to 10 % Notes: All Parts Were Designed for a Specific Print Orientation - A Picture with the Preferred Print Orientation is Provided. No Support is Needed to Print Any Part of this Thing. Ensure Your Printer Axes are Perpendicular. Post-Printing Assembly Build of Materials: 2 - Tower Pro SG90 Servo Motors (2 Minimum) 1 - LED 1 - Micro Controller (Arduino Pro) 1 - Battery or Power Supply In a Nutshell, Here's What You Need to Do: Pre-Fit All Printed Parts to Ensure Everything Fits Together. Glue/Screw All the Servo Motors, Glue All Servo Horn and LED. Run the Cable in the Arm. Assemble the Light and Screw Servo Horn to Servo Motor. Program Your Microcontroller. How I Designed This I Created the Static Light (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:939239) with the Goal of Adding Some Servo Motors to it. I Had to Scale Up Things by 110% for Any Servo Motor to Fit Inside. Initially, I Tried Keeping the Servo Motor in the Arm, But the Design Was Getting Too Big - To Keep Things Down, I Let Some Parts of the Servo Motor Outside of the Printed Components. Finally, I Moved the Motors Inside the Light Itself, Which Removed Some Space for Any Electronics but Kept Things Small and Simple. Big Thanks to Eddiie Who Gave Me Excellent Feedback and Advice!
