You understand these massive metallic tins that your grandma makes use of to retailer stitching needles and random unidentified screws? A few of them really comprise cookies. However opening the tin to get on the sugary morsels is a ache within the arms. To make his vacation gingerbread feasting extra accessible, The Skjegg constructed this cookie launcher.
That is precisely what it appears like: a contraption for launching cookies skyward, the place hungry individuals can snatch them with out prying the lid off the tin. The launch triggers with a voice command for easy cookie consumption. And in a pinch, it might most likely be used to distract prowling polar bears.
The Skjegg hid all the working bits contained in the tin, so that appears principally regular when you ignore the trapdoor on prime. The working bits embrace a radial journal mechanism, which drops the subsequent preloaded cookie into the catapult. The catapult is spring-loaded, with a DC motor to retract the spring. One other DC motor rotates the journal utilizing an optical sensor for positional encoding and a servo motor opens the lure door.
That every one operates underneath the management of a Seeed Studio XIAO SAMD21 growth board, with a DFRobot Gravity Voice Recognition Module for the voice management. Sadly, the module The Skjegg had appeared to have some form of bug that precipitated it to fail after some time. So, he additionally added a button for emergency cookie conditions.
Now The Skjegg can command an incoming cookie volley at any time when he feels peckish this vacation season.
