Fan Stand Final
from Mindstorms Podcast Videos · host Timothy Endersby
The up and down is geared 1:5 with two motors power it. The turning motor it not geared. D-Pad control This program lets me control the robot using the D-pad. Left and right to turn the fan and up and down to move the whole thing up and down. Analog control This program lets you control the robot using the analog stick which make's variable speed possible. left and right to turn the fan and up and down to move the whole thing up and down Automatic This acts like an oscillating fan. It resets everything to about the center and then you set the up and down positioned using the D-Pad and then it automatically has the fan go left to right. My only problem with this is that it went to fast. I could not make it go any slower because putting any less power just had the motor not move or stop halfway. I had the power on 10% Thanks to musikConomy for intro music For more information and dto download the programes go to Mindstormspodcast.wordpress.com
