Experimenting with controlling this motion using various sensors (photo cell, audio jack) alongside a relay. Sending a signal to the relay would cause the motors to change direction and make the CD tray ‘dance’. | |||

Wanting to continue with sensor controlled motion, we looked into paper mechanics. After some initial tests, it became clear that we needed a lot of control over the motor in order to preserve the paper. Therefore we replaced the relay with a servo motor and used an Arduino to set the style of motion. We also decided to use an Infra-red sensor so that our mechanism could be triggered by movement. | |||
