Inspiration
I felt like I should use my skills learned throughout my academic life to improve peoples lives and make the world a better place
What it does
The duck rotates, and a 7 segment display counts the number of times it has rotated. It beeps sometimes too
How we built it
Literally plugged a servo into an Arduino and put a duck on it
Challenges we ran into
The first 3 digits of the 7 segment display do not light up properly when writing the number of rotations. I made a loop that sends the signal every 1ms so it looks like it's permanently lit.
Also, we wanted to use the ST Nucleo but didn't have the correct cable - we needed to use an Arduino instead
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We managed to attach the duck to the servo with a hair band
What we learned
Ducks are cool
What's next for TheDuckDance
More ducks and more servos. I envisage a future with synchronised duck dancing that is inclusive of ducks of all colours (green, blue, yellow and pink!)
