6.4.2016 progress: Askar & Niemi: Kinetic Furniture / Tray
The past weeks have been fruitful in terms of progress for the kinetic tray. We have been trying to figure out various ways of installing the dc motors to move the wheels attached to the wooden board. We have successfully managed to build a practical mechanism to make the movement possible. The physical work consisted of building the moveable tray by drilling and attaching the wheels to the wooden board, including making a steady holder system for the motors out of thick cardboard and metal wires. Thanks to Ville’s knowledge of programming for Arduino, he has managed to make a back and forth movement possible for the tray itself with the motors being able to move it across any flat surface.
