Solving issue: Rotating Projector PROGRESS

With the help of my personal tutor, we have managed to get the stepping motor working via Ardiuno.

This was just an experiment to see if this idea (way 2) of using a stepping motor would work in order to make the projector rotate.

Below is an image of the Ardiuno setup with the motherboard and stepping motor:

This image below is a preview of the coding that is sent to the stepping motor in order for it to spin around.

This is a video footage of the stepping motor spinning.

The experiment was successful, the next step to solve the issue of rotating the projector is to get a slightly more powerful and get that working successfully.

No electricity in the house

I will need to use a projector and lighting in order to complete my project. However, there is no electricity in the house and no live feed wires in order to make a junction box.

To solve this issue, I will be using a petrol based generator that will allow me to use the projector and lighting.

Issue Solved

Preparing for any problems or issues

In order for my project to run smoothly I searched for any problems or issues that I may encounter.

When thinking through the technique side of my project the main issue I will encounter will be how to rotate the projector when told to do so.

There are 4 ways in which I could do this:
1> Using a turntable motor
2> Using a stepping motor and build the platforms
3> Using a windwiper motor and building the platforms
4> To build the whole thing myself, using a drill as the motor.

My first aim is to find a cheap turntable motor that could hold the weight of the projector which is approximately 4kg.

This will be the Special Study of my final piece.
