Arduino Design

Hello there people on the internet. Welcome to my design post! :)
I thought about several design that might work and go together with my design specks. I will now go back to traditional methods like pen and paper. Once I am done sketching and making rough estimates for the size, I will scan the sketches and upload them.


Design #1


This is my very first design. In this design the ultra sonic sensor, he arduino uno and the motor are all put together used 4 screws. This construction is putn into a metal frame that will stop the machine from going left or right. The power source, a battery, will be attached below a wooden board. The same board the metal frame is attached to. The power to the arduino and the motor will be send trough using a wire.




Design #2



This design is basicly the same as the other one, just that the structure is a ttached to a big frame and I would need more money for all the materiel.



Sadly I could not come up with a 3rd design because my 3rd design would look exacl like #1 or #2.






A little bit later...







I just played around with the servos a little bit and foung out how they work but sadly I found out that they cannot turn 360° and they will not have enough power to lift something. This meant that I had to come up for a new design for my project. After deciding and thinking I had an idea for how make an arduino insect.

After playing around with some tape, wires, speaker and a little bit of code I had a plan what to do. Here is a little sketch of my idea:



This is the design I will be building. I have tried to think of everything while making the sketch. I will now start planning.
