- Looking to add some movement to your static props?
I'll show you how to build a simple yet effective prop motor mechanism using PVC pipes and synchronous motors. This mechanism gives your prop's head or body full rotation or side-to-side panning movement, perfect for creating spooky animatronics, attention-grabbing displays, or even playful characters.

I appreciate ALL of your work. I am watching and learning from each video. Thank You.
If you take suggestions:
1. How to sum colors represented from camera image and then allow most prevalent color to dictate LED strip color.
2. Allow IR remote to toggle LED color or change variable value in program code. A simple toggle is enough - do not need to decipher actual key codes...
Good job 👍
Love working with reindeer motors, although I’ll admit I’ve burnt a few out.
😄 I always "test" the limits of mine too!
Hey Mrs. De Barros! I’m a teenager in high school and I’m wanting to learn code for making props like predators plasma caster or something. I’m wondering what kind of code that is? Where did u learn to code? I’ve been trying to learn C code but I haven’t found anything on controlling motors, or lights, or audio. I absolutely love the content so keep doing u, u rock, deuces 🤘
Chick, you have issues! But I love it!
🤣

🎼🎵🎤 Motorin'! what's your price for flight? 🎵🎶
I'm borrowing your take apart for my future projects! I tend to make my projects very permanent! ... which might explain why my house looks like an episode from "Hoarders"!!! 😂😂
I've been trying to get everything to fit into bins so I can organize these projects better 😄
You have the most interesting content! Will you be at “Open Sauce, San Francisco in June?
Not this year, but it's definitely on the list for the future!
Plese make vidio .make pwm and frequency in easy way using arduino🎉🎉🎉
How does the gear motor reverse, what's the mechanism for that? I've never heard of this phenomenon and I have gear motors coming out my lederhosen!
Interesting accent you have! Canadian/Minnesotan?
Brazil! 😄
useless project
