Assignment
Vaidyanath and I worked on this assignment together. The aim was to create a crawler using servo motor. We decided to use 2 servo motors instead of just one so that the crawler would be more stable.
We taped both the servo motors together and added wooden stickes to the rotor on both sides which would act as legs. This was again taped onto the back of a soft toy. We initially used the program from class using the keyboard input to control the motor position, but had issues getting both motor positions to sync since they were taped back to back. So we decided to use the angle of the rotor instead and successfully synced the movement of the two wooden legs.
The code is attached in servo_lion.txt.
A small video of our crawler in action is available below:
