Hi
I thought I would just share a few pictures and video clips of my most recent Picaxe project.
I have scratch built a model rowing boat complete with a rowing man using a modified Action Man toy. The body of the Action Man contains 4 servos to operate each arm, his back movement and his head movement. The rowing boat contains a further 2 servos which operate the oarlocks for each rowing stroke. All servos are controlled by a Picaxe 18M2 which is mounted on an SD21 servo controller board. The Picaxe receives inputs from an RC receiver to determine the rowing direction, speed and has the ability to operate the oars independantly in order to steer.
The project has taken about 18 months to complete - I hope you like it.
