A big butterfly I can hang on my wall. I want it to sit idle, flapping its wings casually. If it hears something loud (like one of my crashouts when I lose all the progress on a project), It starts to flap its wings even quicker. How will I be making this? 2 Servos. A Few 3D Prints and Electronics. Construction Paper. An ESP32. And a whole lotta hot glue.
Worked on a state machine for the butterfly, everything should be coded, but I will need to test the rest with the real thing now. I didnt add any microphone logic, but will do once I have the actual parts.
A motorized butterfly… The planning for it and the cad. I did some additional changes to the wing attachment.
PLANNING
What would be the simpliest way to make the wings flap?
Using a vibrator and a string to move it around (small sized)
Using a servo linked to a 4 bar linkage (more complicated)
Using 2 servos, each servo controlling a seperate wing + flap (probably the easiest but heavy) linear actuator?
I think the 2 servos are the easiest
If i do two servos, I can create an attachement for the servo (a basic coupler) to the wing attachment.
The attachment can be smaller, i only need it to hold the wing
Height of attachment has to be taller than the servo3d printing issues? tolerences might be a problem, I can find a better printer to print on (friends, school, other sources)
I want to add a MAX9814 microphone (used for loud noise detection, to make it so that if the butterfly is close to loud noises, the wings flap faster
The servos need to be positional, origin will start the wings up
