# MovingEdd - A Miniature Moving Head Lighting Fixture This is the project repository for the miniature moving head light, part of the miniTheatreProject. The moving head light can pan and tilt ±90 degrees from home, using an adafruit pixel as a light source. Control is via an Arduino, with plans to transition to an ESP board; details are at miniTheatreProject. ## Bill of Materials | Item | Qty. | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | | SG90 Servo Motor | 2 | One has wings chopped off | | Adafruit Pixie | 1 | Trimming required, to be addressed later | | Hookup wire | 3 | Different colors for ease during routing through the yoke | | 30 degree lens | 1 | eBay item used, black plastic snapped off | | 10mm OD/ 3mm ID bearing | 8 | Part sourced from RS - 6189856 | ## Printing ### Cura Settings Printed in PLA using an Ender 5 Plus with these settings: * 0.1mm layer height * 40mm/s speed * Brim * Enable supports * Enable retraction * 20% infill, graduated for the yoke if possible ### Print Orientation and Placement * Yoke: vertically with arms pointing upward * Body: mirrored in Cura to produce two parts; outer facing upward * Base: right way up ### Assembly 1. Remove yoke supports using a bit of wire to push them out 2. Attach pan servo into base, may require trimming 3. Route a servo cable and three bits of wire through the yoke 4. Push wires from the yoke through the base, then attach the yoke to the base servo using a screw 5. Attach tilt servo in place 6. Solder LED to three wires 7. Slide one body piece into place, quite tricky but strong enough for bending 8. Push wires into the gap where the body meets the yoke 9. Add LED lens 10. Push the other body piece into place, ensuring LED mates with lens; tricky, but it'll probably not break 11. Solder wires together as appropriate to make 5V, GND, LEDSignal, panSignal, and tiltSignal 12. Add some heatshrink and connectors as desired; jumper wires used for ease, may end up with a mini connector later
