CONTROL UNIT FOR 64 MINIATURE ELECTRIC MOTORS
The control unit, represented in the picture below, controls 64 electric motors. The device works with batteries and can be charged with standard USB chargers used for cell phones. The heart of the device is the Arduino Nano board which sends signals to the drivers which in turn power the motors. The device can be managed via a smartphone Android application which can be connected wirelessly thought Bluetooth. Since the control unit would have to fit into a very limited space, the standard casing model was out of question. Instead, we designed and printed a casing with corresponding supports which stores the device components.
In addition to the production of mechanical parts, this project also required of us to provide all electronic components, programme the microcontroller, and develop an Android application. The control unit is only a part of the innovation prototype, which we cannot describe in detail due to intellectual property protection. During the development and production phase we took a number of photos and videos which the client will use as part of their Kickstarter promotion campaign (we will publish the link to the campaign on this website).
