I have each of the components working: photo-resistor reacting to light, LED indicator turning on properly, and servo moving to multiple piezzo buzzer songs. I have code for Ode to Joy and the Imperial March. I also finished model work on the ballerina. Videos of the components working are in the drive link above.

  I have uploaded several videos about my gear testing progress to this google drive folder: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1VtR3xDiZZaTf3fNgudUu_1eEK-AHQPlw?usp=drive_link I learned a lot about gear ratios (how to slow down you add small gear on motor and large gear on objects), gear teething, and the extreme importance of a set screw.

I have never done a project like this before and I was excited about the possibilities. I originally 3D printed my cam shaft out of Nylon; however, cam circles were too small and the spacing was off. For the final project, I laser cut my cam circles and offset them from another to create a wave motion. For my hand made pieces, I ...

Project 3 - Inspiration and Sketches

This project was inspired by my mom who was a ballerina growing up. My mom is one of my biggest supporters and brings light to the dark. Therefore, I will be creating a ballerina that starts dancing and lights up an LED when it senses the dark using a photoresistor.
