I am combining various artistic mediums such as crochet and 3d modelling with coding. The goal is to create a crocheted flower combined with hardware which will have automated functions. A hall sensor will be installed under a petal, and when a 3d printed butterfly (with a magnet in it) is placed on the petal its wings will flap and the stamens (which are leds) will light up.
hey, this project looks really sick!! right now i dont see how the project will be assembled as there is no .step or CAD in your repo! please add this and resubmit!
amazing work on this, the crochet is really beautiful! pleaes update your readme to include images and a description of the project!
My first dev log! I have ever so graciously attached a very rough sketch of my idea for your indulgence. So far, I have made a simple prototype circuit to test my code. At first I had issues with the LED starting on and switching off when the hall sensor activates, and the servo would not turn on at all (boooo!). I found that the digital output starts on high, while I, naïvely, thought it started on low. Once I fixed the LEDs, I moved on to the motor; at first I checked the wiring, but nothing seemed to be amiss there…. So I moved onto the code, but still lo and behold, I couldn’t figure out what was wrong!!! It was time to consult with Claude. I forgot to increment in the function that controls how the wings flap. Oops! I did base the movement off of a sine wave for a smoother motion; however, I am still not all that pleased with the movement. I did play with the delay between steps and the value I am incrementing by on the sine curve. In terms of 3d modelling, I just used a free wing model and attached it to a servo arm, nothing special, My sincerest apologies for the disappointment. I plan on designing wings myself down the line, but I want to get the software down first (my least favorite part, sigh). Finally, my bum 3d printer has decided to act out of line; it seems to hold very little respect for me. At the moment, my print will not stick to the bed, and according to my trusty source: Reddit, it is overextruding too. No more updates for awhile, as I am off to soccer camp, and I cant lug my pc with me!
