This blog is dedicated to my Final Year Project which will be an Urban Installation created in an abandoned house, where the 4 seasons are unleashed. Within this blog, you will know how my project has progressed including the problems which I will encounter and also the development of my final piece - Hafiza :D

Materials Used to build Turntable

As my hand-built turntable is almost complete, I disassembled the platform to take a photograph of all the materials used to construct the turntable platform.

This is the photograph taken of the materials used:



On the left is the framework used as a race-track for the ball-bearings.
Top middle: Metal plates used for a TV stand, below that I have a metal clog that I place onto the end of the stepping motor which then rotates the top right hand board which fits onto the clog. The bottom right board is used to sit onto the stepping motor securing it with the 4 screws and nuts that are on the left of that board. and in the centre are all the ball-bearings I use to smoothen and balance the turntable when it is rotating with weight placed on top of it.
I also used a flat-head screw driver to tighten the clog to the stepping motor and a wrench to tighten the nuts.

This is a photograph of the stepping motor without the platform and also the board that connects to the stepping motor and to the Arduino.


Here is a photograph of my hand-built turntable (without the top board).
