You can download the sketch for Arduino from here: sketch_Picasso_small.ino
HardWare Required
Arduino board
5V power supply (or Dc Power Jack Cable Female Connector)
1 servo motor (we used MG996R Servo)
hook-up wires
breadboard
Construction
Step 1
Connect the 3 wires (brown, red, orange) of the Servo motor to the breadboard.
Step 2
Connect the GND pin of Arduino with the brown wire (Ground) of the motor through the breadboard.
Step 3
Connect Pin 9 of Arduino with the orange wire (signal) of the servo motor through the breadboard.
Step 4
Connect the positive pin of the jack to the red wire (power) of the motor and the negative pin of the jack to the brown wire (Ground) of the motor.
Step 5
Connect Arduino board to the computer. Open the sketch with the Arduino IDE. Upload the sketch to the board.
Base And Platform
Base
Step 1
Take a paperbox.
Step 2
Mark, at the lid of the box, the place where the servo motor must be placed.
Draw the shape of the base of the servo motor on the paperbox.
Step 3
Cut the area you draw.
Step 4
Put the servo motor in that area.
Step 5
Cut a small area on the side of the paper box (it will be used for the power wires).
Step 6
Put the Arduino inside the box and connect it with the servo motor.
Platform
Step 1
Take a cylindrical paperbox.
Step 2
Cut some circles (for the filters) and the rest of the base of the paperbox.
Step 3
Using some glue put the gear of the servomotor in the middle of the paperbox and some lego parts as you can see in the image.
Step 4
Place the filters and connect three small lego wheels on the lego parts at the bottom of the box.
