| | | | (...) Two reasons. One, using a motor didn't occur to me. ;) Two, I don't have any rotation sensors either. I'm also unsure how I could use a motor to tilt and raise at the same time, though I don't think that's a movement needed very often. I could (...)

In that case it does not matter hos long it takes etc. between the shots (sure, fast is better it don't need to be 30fps fast). Then you could easily build a (...)

It moves quite fast. (...) running IE 6, XP Pro. Any clue why? (...) (21 years ago, 7-Oct-03, to lugnet.animation, lugnet.build, lugnet.technic)

I'm not advocating for ganged pistons. I'd think that a geared (...) (21 years ago, 7-Oct-03, to lugnet.animation, lugnet.build, lugnet.technic)

It's not the best system because of the lower power you achieve with retraction versus extension, but it works best when you're trying to keep everything (...)

I decided not to try to use pnuematics...but rather a simple gear/belt drive system. It gives full pan and tilt...well (...)
