PLEXIGLASS 5mm

PLEXIGLASS BASE

  1. Cut the plexiglass sheets as shown below:
  • 52x12cm | X4 lateral
  • 51x51cm | X1 base below
  • 52x52cm | X1 base above

CONNECTIONS AND TESTS

  1. Open the ".ide" file and follow the various links indicated.
  2. Connect the Arduino to the PC and run the processing file in "open_tagada/open_tagada.pde"
  3. Run all tests

ASSEMBLY

  1. Assemble the base and glue it to the plexiglass bottom with hot glue.
  2. Glue the servo to its base, insert the "switch" and connect the remaining parts.
  3. Glue the MOTOR "converter" to the tagadà and insert the motor into its housing.
  4. Create a graphic to print on the panels or stick stickers on them.
  5. Cut the thin bars printed previously and form a fence (in case you don't have a strobe) and glue everything to the structure.
  6. Glue the tagadà base to the plexiglass base and finish assembling it.
  7. Make all the various connections in an orderly manner and make a hole at the bottom of the plexiglass base to pass the cables outside.
