How to adjust where the start and end position for a servo motor inside a Servo Sock.
Analog meters are all around us!. They are used to visually represent measurements and data. One of the most common analog meters is the fuel needle in a car. This converts a reading of the fuel level in the tank to an empty to full reading on the meter.
In this build, we will use one servo to build an electronically controlled meter. We will first simply use the knob on the control the board to move the needle converting the knob position to movement of the needle. Then, a sound sensor will be connected to convert sound level (ie music) to a meter reading. This will make it what is commonly known as a “VU-meter”
SKILLS + GOALS
Carpentry
- Use of basic tools and hardware
Construction
- Following visual assembly instructions
Code
- Understand math/code behind converting input readings to output readings (meter)
& more!

Welcome to Make Stuff Move coding lessons. This first lesson is going to show you how to set the colour and brightness of the pixel and turn it on, on our Make Stuff Move animate shield.
Welcome to another Make Stuff Move coding lesson. This second lesson is going to show you how to move a servo using the knob on your animate shield.
This build works out to be useful in two ways; flinging stuff and drumming on stuff. The overall concept is to increase the inertia of the moving servo by quickly snapping the cable tie to flick the arm. The mechanics of this build is modeled after a foot pedal used in a drum kit.
The flinging aspect is just fun. Fling coins, buttons and ping-pong balls. When using the animation recording feature of the Animate Shield, beats can be recorded an looped including adjusting the speed.
SKILLS + GOALS
Construction
-Build the project following assembly instructions
Music
-Animate a beat
Carpentry
-Basic carpentry principals and hardware
Coding
-Learn about using delays in code to control movement timing

Inchworms are so simple in their movement which makes it a fun challenge to build and animate their movement. The inchworm shifts its weight during its "pinching/folding" to push the front and pull the back.
