The Final Project

What could be my final Project????(week 1)

To give you some Background Info: I love Playing Dungeons and Dragons and switched to mostly be the Gamemaster. For that i have something in Mind. I want to make a MechanicalDungeon, the MechaDungeon. The Plan ist to have 1 inch tiles, which acts like Walls or Floor. This Tiles will then be rised or lowered by some sort of mechanics.

First Idea

The first idea was to use some sort of Actuators like a electromagnet or a servo. At some Point i realized, that this would be a enormous ammount of actuators. I planned a Board size of 10x10 tiles which would be 100 actuators.

Old Idea

second Idea

After Hours of thinking and fidgiting around with my Pen, something came into my mind. Why dont use a similar Mechanism like the Retractable Pens. I would combine this with an XY Bot and an Actuator and would a cheap to extend Version, which is also simple to realize.

New Idea

Research

Week 2

In Week 2 I overhauled the tile mechanism, I switched from a latching to a Twisting mechanism.

Week 4

In Week 4 I started with the Code for my MechaDungeon. I implemented the Menu, getting Dungeons from Serial and Controlling the Machine with Buttons

Week 5

In Week 5, I made some tweeks in the Twisting Mechanism and the top of the Tile

Week 6

In Week 6 I designed the PCB for the MechaDungeon

Week 7

In week 7. Computer controlled machining you saw, that i milled the main frame for my final Project. I also Lasercut the Tileholder

Week 8

In Week 8, I produced the Board made in Week 6

Week 11

In Week 11, Tried a bit with MQTT and Im thinking using it to get DATA "OTA"(Over the Air)

Week 12 + 13

In Week 12+13, We tried a bit with Stepper and Drivers, what was beneficient for me. I also figured out, that leen couldn't communicate with my board to the Drivers
