I tried connecting this used light switch to the motor and it actually worked!]]> 2022-02-09 18:17:45 UTC https://padlet.com/wonderfulideaco/atgw2circuits/wish/2038575710 Finger switch for intermittent power https://padlet.com/wonderfulideaco/atgw2circuits/wish/2038579477 The pawl acts as a finger-type connector to activate the motor every time it comes in contact with the foil.

I wonder if I could make an analog drawing machine using just the kit materials! -Celeste ]]> 2022-02-16 04:17:31 UTC https://padlet.com/wonderfulideaco/atgw2circuits/wish/2050074452
