i want to make a watch the has a single handed design that rotates 330 degrees or so. Is it possible to make a software/hardware installation small enough to put into the back of a watch?
Here’s my concept, an RPM gauge watch that starts at the 7:00 position on a normal watch and goes to the 5:00 position and then spins backwards to the 7:00 like an RPM gauge in a car. No watch movements currently exist for this so im thinking a robotic arm is the solution?
Need help/advice from the robot community. I know nothing about robotics and would love some feedback. I have pics of my watch design but am very hesitant to post it online at such an early stage of r and d.
I found this little gem when i searched stepper motor. Am i going in the correct direction?
The idea behind the project is simple: take a stepper motor, put a needle on it, and connect it to an Arduino. Instant analog gauge, measuring anything an Arduino can calculate.
Your best choice might be a micro stepper motor (we don’t have any though) and create custom electronics around it (including a stepper controller and microcontroller). We tend not to carry things quite that small, though if we come across anything we’ll certainly consider it for our catalog.
Certainly on the right track! That one has some electronics too (not sure what though). If you find the manufacturer, you may find they make even smaller ones.
