Has been a weird mid-sem break, busy but haven’t actually got as much done as I would want
Week 7 tasks
-Borrow arduino from Mike. Prototype programming and movement for finger with mini motor
-more research into potential bigger motor options (currently it looks like the one I need has to be shipped from Aus and is $300 dollars. Surely there is a better way
-finish painting flower and test install with bear (2D02?)
-1:1 scale drawing of the giant hand (possible alternative to building real hand if I cannot figure out how to do it)
-Re-edit found video of hand (possible alternative)
-Read more about Ragnar Kjartansson
-Office hours with someone??? (feeling v overwhelmed, would be good to talk stuff through & prioritise)
All the stuff about motors is starting to make more sense. Spoke to a guy and jaycar that was really helpful but the arduino compatible motors they stock are all v small. Possibly can use another kind but would need an intermediate device between arduino and motor and could be tricky to pull off.
