Arduino Time!

We have finally completed the final model of our chair in both detail model (full scale) and full chair model at quarter scale. But first, here's our process model that we used to figure out our gears:



So here's the final product!










So it's the same concept as before, Person sits, the seat and racks move down which turn the gears that makes everything happen. These first 2 pictures are the "before" state; here's the chair in its final position.






So we have tested it and it does work; there's only a couple of quirks to work out concerning friction, etc. But other than that, we're excited! It's hooked up to the Arduino and Servo (which was wired and programmed much with the help of Josh and Andrew) with a button so that we can rotate it up and down. It's pretty nifty.

Lastly, the full chair model:
