Reciprocating Rack and Pinion - Build a Captivating Geared Mechanism Discover how to craft an automated geared mechanism that mesmerizes with its dynamic motion. Utilize the Adafruit CRICKIT and Circuit Playground Express to bring it to life! This ingenious mechanism converts rotary motion into linear oscillating motion, resulting in a hypnotic effect. The gear appears to bounce back and forth as it continuously rotates, creating a sense of kinetic energy. As the wheel spins, the gear turns and oscillates between two tracks, emitting clacks and sloshes sounds that evoke white noise. The teeth engage the lower track as it rotates, only to clear the end of the track and catch the teeth in the upper part of the track.
