He's back

Wish I could have heard the stream... makes you rethink what a taper should be doing imho

huh?

confused

!

Except some of the articles are just so over the top... there was one about justin bieber being a gangsta...

They just took the ignorance thing WAY too far and it was almost blatantly obvious that it is satire

SWEET

Christwire is known to be satirical similar to the onion... just so ya know

@baj

It gets really crazy when I use it while I'm playing music

And the different levels of the music are controlling the levels of the light... and the bpm is controlling the string speed

Shoulder screw... not screw rod... but I seriously appreciate the effort

So I need a pedobear?

A dial pot wouldn't work because it would be too easily broken...

I really have my heart set on the aesthetic of the rods to control the device.

I was suggested by someone to use Spherical rod ends... and a radial potentiometer

At one end of the rod, you would have the rod end, which threads to the rod. The other end of the rod end would have a shoulder screw to affix it to whatever your mating part of the potentiometer is. At the other end of the rod, you would put another rod end to mount to the control lever in a second class lever configuration.

I'm still not entirely sure what he meant though

Also I am open to using anything that might be an off the shelf alternative to my half assed design... thanks!

Original Installation

So I'm working on building a control interface for my string installation... my concept is a box with 6 giant levers coming out of it that the patrons can adjust to change various aspects of the piece (such as string speed, strobe, etc..)

Now I think I have the code and the electronics figured out... and I have a theory about how to make this work using a linear potentiometer and some gears, but I'm not sure this is the best approach.

So essentially i need to solve two problem

1) How to turn the movement of the lever into an electronic control

2) How to maintain tension within the lever so that it will remain in the position it is left in.

Any help you guys can give would be greatly appreciated... and if I have not been clear enough let me know and I'll try and explain better
