Robot artist from old CD drives


This article will cover how to make do it yourself robot artist. Of course you have such a picture robot will not draw, but surprise acquaintances or friends with his homemade can. And if you collect such a robot with your children, this will undoubtedly help the development of creative character traits.

Tools and materials:
-Two LED drives;
-Board 3 mm;
-Saw;
-Glue;
-
-
-
-
-
-A computer;
-Screwdriver;
-Soldering iron:
-Lubrication:
-Rule;
-Pencil;
-Drill;
-Glue gun;
-Writing pen;
-Scissors;
-Spring;
-Thread;
- Battery 12V;
-Wire;

Step One: LED Drives
Parses CD drives. Removes covers, electronics board.









Removes a frame with a carriage and a stepper motor from the housing.

She lays one frame, parses the second on.



From the second CD drive, only a carriage and a stepper motor are needed.


Lubricates the carriage.

Solders to wire stepper motors. The connector is soldered to the second ends of the wires.



Step Two: X-axis and Y-axis
Saw off a board (further the table) 10 * 9 cm. At the edges of the table glues the bars 2 * 10 cm.

Cut grooves for carriage guides. Glues the guides.



A block of 3 * 5 cm glues next to the carriage. Screws on the stepper motor. Axis X is ready.


Glues the X-axis mechanism with the Y-axis mechanism.


Secures the servo drive to the carriage with the shaft facing out (see photo)



Step Three: Pen
Parses a pen. Cuts 1 cm. Of the upper end of the shaft. Twists the spring half on the rod. Having retreated about 1 cm from the bottom of the rod, wrap a thread on it. Knots. In the handle makes a hole. Pulls the thread into the hole. Installs the rod in place. Sets the cap.






Glues the handle to the body of the servomotor (the ball of the rod abuts against the surface). Fastens the second end of the thread to the servo lever.



Step Four: Module Assembly
Installs two stepper motor modules with radiators on the expansion board.





Installs an expansion board on Arduino.



Step Five: Connect
Installs a battery. Fastens and connects all elements according to the given schemes.








Step Six: Software
Loads software. Opens software. Connects an Arduino USB connector. When updating the firmware, selects COM (3.4 or 5).




Sets the parameters.

First page:
Serial Port: COM (3.4 or 5)
Pen Up: 35
Pen Down: 22
Speed: 800 (you can increase)
Time: 200
Second page:
Step: x = 2 y = 3
Dir: x = 5 y = 6
Min: x = -1 y = -1
Max: x = -1 y = -1
Ppm: x = 320 y = 320
laser: 0 = 12 1 = 12
Servo: 0 = 11 0 = 12
Feed Ra. : 1500



The robot artist is ready. It remains to enter text in the field and run the program.

The whole process of creating a robot artist can be seen in the video.

but where can I find this driver, I have nothing more than the fact that I downloaded from the site ....

Perhaps your driver is not installed correctly
I’m doing this robot, when connected, how to work in the program, it writes ... Nothing selected, how to fix it and where to look? I downloaded the program from the site

Why does the servo raise the handle poorly?
Eco
And do you need a sketch for this? if you can link
Guest Yuri
..... voltage is applied to both windings (BH) at once simultaneously!
Guest Yuri
Assembled, according to this article, the robot, the result of the servo is working! but stepper motors (BH) are not. When connected Arduino 12V voltage is immediately applied to the PC on the SD and they are very hot. When the program starts, the servo drive works as it should, and the SDs do not move and continue to overheat.
I checked the performance of the SD (using CD Rom) - they are working.
Tell me this correctly, that the voltage (12V) is constantly applied to the SM, even if the program is not running. If not, what could I do wrong? Thanks.
Guest 123
What is the voltage of jumpers (jumpers)?

did without understanding anything. understandably
-I did not do it. I just did a rewrite

And where do you see the inscription "author"? At the bottom of the article there is a link "Source".
Guest qwerty
Since you yourself made this robot, you probably know why you used these elements?
Author
Good afternoon. You can describe each action in more detail, and why exactly these elements are used

Rewrite article? I'm afraid the admin won’t understand-))) At the bottom of the article there is a link "Source". More than there, no one will tell you anything.

Good afternoon. You can describe each action in more detail, and why exactly these elements are used. help help I would be very grateful. Thanks:) thank_you
I'm sorry, can anyone give a link to the software? Please repost. Link does not work.
Partly because these "step" ones are junk. How much I disassembled, marveled at how they still worked. Their shafts hang and wedge. Then they began to do (better) on others, through gear.
Servo does not work. What to check,
I have a question similar to yours: "Why did my light bulb burn out in the corridor?"
Why do my stepper motors get very hot ?????
Thank you) I assembled this design, but it seems that when soldering, I shorted the contacts on the motors. And they burned down (
Author
These are jumpers
What kind of black squares does he install before installing the stepper motor modules?
or you can use a motor with a cutting shaft (router, or whatever ...)
Author
Forgot to add on my own. If instead of a pen, install a pyrograph and change the settings, then you can probably burn it out.
