Make: Online : Kinetic ring sculpture keeps you on edge

Kinetic ring sculpture keeps you on edge

'Arduino inside!'

After a long day's work, it's nice to settle down in a comfy chair and - Freak out with some clanky metal sculpture!

A kinetic model made with recycled metal,
a bipolar stepper motor (ripped out of an old scanner), a L293D dual H-bridge and programmed with an arduino.
In short it makes alot of noise.

Arduino

So if it has an Arduino in it that makes it worth my time?

@ NiñoScript - I found the device's manic and jarring movement and raw simplicity to be unusual and entertaining. I do having some odd tastes and a strange sense of humor at times - so it's most likely my idiosyncrasies to blame, not yours ;)

Thanks for inquiring so politely - i really appreciate that!
