![]() ![]() It was very hard to work on anything at the fair, the heat and trying to solder anything. Around the third day I converted the speakers to run off the 5v system. The speakers ran off 4 AAA batteries and they would only last for use under 2 hours. After the first day I turned off the Tank Lid and had it in the open position so you could see the eyes. Their where two main problems, the worst was the tank lid mechanism, it basically did not work. I had to reattach the eyes at least twice. The toilet was outside and it got very hot, the hot glue did not hold the entire time. The Eyes worked very well, had a problem with the hot glue I mounted them with. The toilet bowl lid worked fantastic, it was rock solid. Some parts worked a lot better than other parts. The Captain Underpants toilet ran for the entire fair. The Fair was 9 days at least 10 hours a day. Halloween, Ceramic glue problems hamblin.joe.I need to do this final test before it's 8 day run. I will upload new video, of the toilet working with all the updates. I am very happy with the CAM solution, 100% reliable, simple, uses 3D printed parts. I have uploaded video's of each of the mods through out the winter. Now I use a CAM and its smooth and 100% reliable. Also totally reworked the lid lifting mechanism, the original worked about ~50% of the time, finally had a change the program so that the lid was open all the time. I added much louder speakers, and a new 7.5v regular that runs of 12v from battery (one of my design criteria is that everything run off the 12v battery, makes it portable, don't need to have power close by). Worked fine at home, indoors, outside anything and everything would trigger it. Last year I tried sonic ranger finder, major fail. ![]() They have a decorating contest :D I've added a foot pedal so that small kids can step on it and trigger it. ![]()
