sand im getriebe

Monday, January 28th, 2008

in germany, when you want to say “to throw a spanner in the works”, you say “sand ins getriebe streuen” which can be translated as “pour sand in the gear”. which has now become a problem…

the sesame dispenser we wanted to use

is quickly blocked by the sand… and not very precise…

this is clearly not the way to go…

DIY doser II

Wednesday, January 16th, 2008

first experiments with a servo controlled by an arduino board showed that the servos are way too slow to enable a precise dosage of sand, at least in the way we used to think we’d set it up (see previous post).

heres the next proposal, using a screw.

doser-screw

still using a servo, but it has to be hacked in order to be able to spin a full 360 degrees.

miniaturized.

todo:

  1. make it smaller
  2. make it Battery-Powered
  3. fix it on a T-Shirt
  4. make it IN TIME
