Abstract:
My goal for this semester is to develop the foundations of a 3D mirror. Ultimately, I imagine this as a grid of hundreds of small blocks that would each move to “reflect” a point over a
complementary sensor grid. In this sense, each block would act as a pixel on a screen, except
instead of changing color they change height. So for the midterm I’m breaking it down to
just two blocks and two IR range sensors.
Code Sketch:
- Set servos to starting position
- Check inputs of range finders
- Convert input voltages into linear values
- If linear values fall within defined range, then move servos according to values
- If not, return servos to starting position
Parts:
Arduino
2 x Servo Motor
2 x GP2D120 IR Range Sensors
Gears
Wiring
Building Material (haven’t decided on this yet)
