Assignments

  • Selfreproducing machine
    Fab Academy assignment 1

This machine will work on the 3 axes sled system,the only thing is that you have to put it together by your self the machine can not do it. It works so: Theres a special unit that you put on the axes movement for example raster tooth,vinil blade,3d plastic squirter. I havent got time to think about the circuit boards and programming and steel compoments.






A Semester Project

I'm going to make a walking puffin out of press fit componements, that swings his wings wile walking. Then I'll make a circuit board witch will react to my orders. I think I´m going to let the puffin answere simple questions and more more..Which I´ll have to think about later on, the possibilities are endless!

Here's a video file but it doesn't yet look like a puffin but it's A bird..

Time frame for the Semester Project

To finish this project I need to set some time frame,but for me to estimate the time is not to easy but I^m going put up some time frame anyways.

-What has to be done-

The Puffin Structure has to be made.

The walking unit installed.

The Legs has to be connected to the walking unit.

The costume that wraps around the structure has to be seewed.

The circuit that connects the 1M Flash memory to the at48 and from that to the speaker board has to drawn up and be made, the circuit is suppose to be able to store all the programming (the sentenses)that the puffin is suppose speak.

Then maybe if there is some time I will make gears that will connect to the walking unit gears,and thats done to make the puffin also move his wings or his mouth maybe.

  • That's the progress I'm making.. The puffin is not walking but there is not long way before he will learn to walk.
  • The next thing I'm going to try is to set the legs diffrent so one leg is in the back and the other one front because other wise it wont work.
  • Then I'm going to make bigger toes and hope thats enough to get him walking.
  • If not I'm going to make A joint at the bottom of the leg that connects to the feet and hope that it will work.
