Designing a mechanism to control an Umbrella with breathing or respiratory movement of the chest. Enter the breathing Umbrella. Do you breath the Umbrella or does it breath you?
First researched and collected the necessary components:
One Strong Stepper Motor/ The Motors Driver/ A Universal Mounting Hub/
Driver connection Diagram:
Arduino, Motor and Driver connected:
Considered a variety of mounting methods for the Motor and Umbrella:
3D design of the the mounting for potential 3D Printing (using the Blender software):
To scale section drawing:
First attempt to use wood and Metal by hand to construct the above mechanism sketch is shown below in the images:
