Taking advantage of some great weather and already working on props for next year. Came up with a very simple design for a Skelly Swing using a wiper motor and PWM speed control. Dialed down the speed to about 22 rpm. The motor is mounted directly on the swing mech so everything is one assembly. So far pretty happy with the motion. Still have to form the hands around the ropes and paint the mech black.
please post a tutorial I like the pvc use and the motor mounted right to the swing apparatus. The turorial above has his mounted to an ajacent branch.
I would love to see exactly what you used and how it works.
Thanks Danski! I'm actually surprised at the movement myself. I came up with this design the other night when I couldn't sleep. Laying in bed in the dark is when I usually do my best thinking!
