SWARM Cubes Idea

Image
The cubes would utilize small magnets to connect together, the movement of the cube would be caused by the sudden stopping accelerating of the small brush-less motors. Some sort of positioning sensor would be used to track the cubes position. The cube would be controlled by an Arduino and three electronic speed controllers. If the movement of the cube is precise enough the cube would theoretically be able to balance on one end, much like a gyroscope or spinning top.

The Results of Boredom

Have you ever felt it would be handy to have you blinds open and close by themselves? Well I did! so I had them do just that. I used a photoresitor and switch to sense the lights levels outside, and the position of the blinds. A small 12v toy motor and gear box provides the opening action. Everything is controlled with an Arduino.
