Putting the (hopefully) final touches to the paper based programming demos for Dublin Maker 2018 (July 21st, Merrion Square).
There are two demos here. The first controls a robot arm that can retrieve a sweet for the user. The user “programs” the arm by colouring in bits on the paper roll. Each column of the paper roll corresponds to an 8 bit opcode. The two MSB’s select which of the servo motors is to be controlled, the remaining 6 bits determine the angle.
The second demo is a music box similar in design to the first except that the opcodes are 15 bits long. 12 of these select the note, 2 select the octave and the 15th bit is a clock bit that allows the microcontroller control the motor speed. Fingers crossed these will work on the day 🙂
