Movement Test

Published on 2016-02-20 in Mechatronic Ears.

I have the mechanical part ready, and I did a small test of the ears movement. They move so slow because that’s what the test does, not because they are so slow – in fact, they can move into a new position quite fast.

On the control side, I gave up on the Pololu IMU, and instead went with a simple GY-61 analog accelerometer. This should be more than enough, since I only need to react to movements, and this is much simpler to interface.
