Some Adjustments
Due to my current lack of speakers and lack of funding or time to find adequate ones, I have decided to switch the kind of light show I am building. Unfortunately this version does require some circuitry. However I do intended to keep the result cheap and easy to make. Essentially I am making something akin to this…
After some research I discovered that he was wrong about those motors. Not only are they extremely hard to find, they are also very expensive. And these are only for the simplest version! So my goal is to make a similar contraption but with motors you can get for 99 cents to $2 at radioshack. Please note that most of these motors are actually high speed motors. Regardless, I believe that these combined with a potentiator to slow them down will create the same effect.
It’s fairly simple to add the potentiator to the circuit. You’ll need a battery hook up (preferably 2 to 4 AAA) and some extra wire.
1) The potentiator has three solder stations, attach either the positive or the negative end of the battery to one of the outside stations.
2) Take the left over wire for the battery and attach that to one of the two solder stations on the motors.
3) With you’re extra wire run a line from the second solder stations on the motors to the middle station of the potentiator
4) Leave the last solder station on the potentiator open!
5) Turn it on and have fun!
