I have started work on the electronics for my animatronic shoulder cannon. I still need to fine-tune the code so the action is smoother, but from the video clip, you get the basic idea. 3 servos to deploy the cannon over the shoulder.
My rig. At this point it is VERY rudimentary. I have A LOT of work to do with it. From the left, 3 servos connected together held steady in a vice. In the middle (attached to the vice), a prototype board (white) from Radioshack, allowing me to move jumper wires around as needed. On the right, the Activity board (green) that holds the BASIC Stamp 2 chip and cable, so I can program it from my PC.
The goal for this project is to have the BASIC Stamp embedded into the left forearm prop as the "wrist computer" with additional manual cannon control from my left glove hand, board-driven sound effects and LEDs (much work left!). More to follow, stay tuned...
