The Cogwheel

Here is another student project from the three-day workshop we conducted together with Fulya Akipek and Mehmet Ali Altın. Briefly, the idea was to develop a system of cogwheels that spin together to animate an entire pattern. It was about to develop a kinetic system with a simple Arduino-based setup, probably with one servo and a motion sensor. The integration of the cogwheels system and the underlying pattern was interesting research.

Although it seemed very simple for a servo setup, unfortunately, we couldn’t manage to calibrate the Arduino and the servo exactly. Anyway, it was great fun. :) The pattern is based on a previous Grasshopper study explained here.

The workshop is organized together with Mehmet Ali Altın and Fulya Akipek. Students are, Murat Akırmak, Gizem Ceyhanlıer, Cem Kıyak, Bartu Can, Tuğba Levent, Seda Orhan, Gizem Gümüşkaya, Yunus Emre Boz, Rana Arslan, Kadircan Avcı, Meryem Geçimli, Mehmet Özdurak, Ayşegül Odacı, Çiğdem Cgdm?, Arif Oturmak, Hüseyin Sedef, Meltem Damar, Efe Büyükbörekçi, Emre Çıtak, Alperen Şahin, Hande Öztürk, Kaan Gökçakan, Aydan Ören.
