[JUPITER]

Project Description

Jupiter main idea : a series of illustrations of an animated scene bound together in sequence so that an illusion of movement can be imparted by flipping them rapidly.

-the main cause of my project is to make a simple animation that is permanent and the user could say and play it anytime or sequential photos that make video without using a mobile or tablet for this to watch it ( so the idea is combining between the old animation technique that is drawing the frames on paper and the technology that it shows that frames with a little technological way using Arduino and motors to perform the movement instead of human hands to show it ( so this is a mix between art, animation ( sequential video images ) and technology that it brings fun to the animation lover, animation maker or anyone because no one hates animation or videos I guess and anyone could use it to express anything he wants to say without talking but the kit will take this mission >_<).

how the JPITER works:

( so I made a project which have two modes switching between them by slide switch (when on (1) it will give an access to manual mode , while it's on(0) it will give an access to automatic mode. so the first one is manual mode which after pressing on the slide switch you will have to open another switch for manual mode to make the motor rotate by 180 degrees to make the cards flip and when you turn off the manual mode switch the manual mode will stop (which means the motor will stop rotating) the second mode is the automatic mode ( which means when you press(0) on the slide switch and close to ultrasonic by a specific distance which more or equals 10cm, and less than or equals 30cm so that will make the motor rotate by 180 degrees to make the cards flip ( and that's the automatic mode), but all of that are controlled by (9v) adaptor when you put it and open an on/off switch a little blue led will turn on that means that you have the access to switch between the auto &manual mode but when you turn off that on/off switch and by this the led will turn off that means that all the kit(JUPITER) is turned off, and also you cant turn on any mode )

so that means there is :

  • an on/off switch to open the kit and the led which it means all the kit is open (the led benefit is to give a hint to the viewer that the kit is turned on/off)

  • a slide switch to slide between auto and manual modes

  • another on /off switch you press it after the first one and the slide switch to give an access to manual mode

-(small detail ) I called it Jupiter because it is the fastest planet to rotate and that what happen in my project that I wanted it to rotate in a fast way somehow to show the illusion of animation ...
