But one day i was wondering on robotshop and bam. I found little vibrating motors and flexinol muscle and i said HO MY GOD :)
I tried to do a puppet with servo and string like in a classical puppet but doesn't work before. But this time maybe it will be ok.
What you see on the picture is :
- on the left is a paper prototype with an iron chest where the linear micro switcher will be
- on the red RAC you do not see it but it is here a flexinol muscle that have 4% of linear movement and that is the key of the puppet
- the black hair girl is the result of a patplume modeling latex mold so it is empty and light exactly what we need for flexinol muscle
- then a sketch of how many moves are possible
- and an other with the 3*9 linear actionner and the two point of 5mm where the 50 micron flexinol plus latex will be
- on the right are the possible design of the carrier robot. Because lolitatronic is like sumomo just 15cm in height so you can't put power, arduino and else in it. In lolitatronic there will be just linear actionner 3 or 4 micro motors and that will be enought to fill the whole thing :) And there will be a wire to the carrier robot that contain power, computer board, servo and arduino.
On the arduino we will use pwn with mosfet to go to the switcher.
The first test and the big part will be the switcher thing without it we will be able to do just 13 movements, that is good but not too much. To begin we will try to do a one pwn wire on arduino that go to a linear 3 positions switcher to activate an arm. The switcher building is a work in progress. It is kind of simple but not so easy ;)
So will continue learn flexinol muscle and try to build the 3 positions switch maybe it will work ;)
