This build is to show what's possible as well with openBuilds! I use a single ArduinoMega and 5 separate stepper drivers (A4988). The LEDs are all NeoPixels. Collision 'detection' is all done within the code, so the endstops are only sensors I use in this build. I'm a self-employed video-artist and this is my first installation which just needs power and it runs (where I'm quite proud of). Normally my interactive installations take a long setup time, so this installation is a relief :)

    This kind of Build gets me inspired of so many ideas that could be put into motion.
    Thank you for sharing.

    I like this a lot, and others will as well. I'm thinking of building one of these and use it for the demonstration of actuators (PM send to you).

    Shared on the OpenBuilds Mexico facebook page! :D

    Thank you!

    This is sweet! Well done. I never would have thought to pair linear actuators and video games, but you have done so very well.. It is projects like this that remind me to think outside the box and use my imagination. :thumbsup:
