Today I went on testing and refreshing my memory on arduino and have a test run on dc motor. I have a research about the function of animatronic tentacle and base from what I saw, motors will probably do the thing when it comes to power. But the thing for using motor is that I don't know if there's any controller that could control the speed and rotation of the motor in order to control the animatronic tentacle. I also search about the mechanics of the pulling strings for the tentacle. Here's what I've found
It looks like strings are being pulled and the whole structure will also affect on it which will curve or move in other direction since it is attached to the strings. Another thing that I was wondering about if the arduino can handle two motors at the same time. Tim said about using an H-bridge, and here's another video that I found that it is possible to run two motors in arduino by using a H-bridge
Since this is possible I've tried testing again my arduino to the motor that tim gave me. It's only a mere to refresh my memory in arduino. I guess I would make a circuit board for this when it comes to the building stage. I would also need an H-bridge to put on the circuit board as well. It's either I buy the kit or make one myself. Either way I would need it as much as possible.
