Paper Puppets

A lab report by Zwee Dao

In this Report

To submit your lab, clone this repository. You'll need to describe your design, include a video of your paper display in operation, and upload any code you wrote to make it move.

Part A. Actuating DC motors

Link to a video of your virbation motor

Vibrator video

Part B. Actuating Servo motors

Part 1. Connect the Servo to your breadboard

a. Which color wires correspond to power, ground and signal? Red - power Brown - ground Yellow - signal

Part 2. Connect the Servo to your Arduino

a. Which Arduino pin should the signal line of the servo be attached to? pin 9

b. What aspects of the Servo code control angle or speed? This code which uses myservo.write() to set servo position:

for(pos = 0; pos <= 180; pos += 1) // goes from 0 degrees to 180 degrees
  {                                  // in steps of 1 degree
    myservo.write(pos);              // tell servo to go to position in variable 'pos'
    delay(15);                       // waits 15ms for the servo to reach the position
  }
  for(pos = 180; pos>=0; pos-=1)     // goes from 180 degrees to 0 degrees
  {
    myservo.write(pos);              // tell servo to go to position in variable 'pos'
    delay(15);                       // waits 15ms for the servo to reach the position
  }

Part C. Integrating input and output

Include a photo/movie of your raw circuit in action.
