Hi All,
Thank You for your time and consideration.
I am planning on purchasing the Moebius “Lost in Space” Robot B9 1/6 Scale Model 13" tall. I am impressed because it is so detailed, and made so that the radar head section, and the torso section can both rotate.
I would like to be able to turn both sections either to the right 90-deg and back to center or to the left 90- deg and back to center, slowly and independently of each other. Or possibly even 160-deg and/or 360-deg torso rotation.
My hardware concerns are related to necessary actuators/motors/controllers/other? - that are small, but capable of completing the task.
As far as software concerns, I was not necessarily considering computer control or R/C control, but I do have computer experience and would be willing to implement either or both if they are the best option, and not overly complex.
No troubleshooting yet. I have not started the project yet, as I will need to know what all is necessary to include in the model’s construction prior to starting the project.
Additional information:
I am going to be upfront, here. I am new to this sort of thing, and I am very intrigued by it, and I really want to accomplish something nice.
I am not asking for someone to complete the project for me, as I sincerely want to learn about it and get hands on experience, and possibly help someone else through completing my own project.
The Overall Model information can be viewed on Amazon or eBay.
Any advice or tutorial references would be greatly appreciated. I am just not sure exactly where to start, or what I am looking for.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You.
Respectfully,
Bud
