Chloe Seachord - There's an App for thatby ~FenigDurak

Artisan Crafts / Costumery / Props & Accessories

I have been bugging Chris for the ability to open and close my Steampunk wings unassisted for a while now. The ceiling fan wings were great - light weight, maneuverable, unique - but I had to have someone else latch them in the back once they were open and then again when I wanted to retract them.

He answered my requests with a set of 7-foot wide mechanical wings that are a true representation of what Steampunk is: Victorian aesthetic with the technological abilities of today.

From open to close, the process:
- With Apparition Abolishers App open, tap "Deploy Wings"
- Message travels from the iPhone mounted on my arm to the Arduino
- Arduino activates the motor which starts the top stave rotating
- Potentiometer reads the position of the top stave and tells it when to stop
- Tap "Retract Wings" in Apparition Abolishers App
- Message travels to the Arduino
- Arduino activates the motor again which reverse rotates the top stave
- Potentiometer tells the stave when to stop.

Its a lot going on, but its such a quick and fluid motion. Here, I have video taken at the Dragon*Con 2012 Masquerade:

For more info on the wings, additional photos and videos and even to see the other projects we're working on in the steampunk vein, check out the Apparition Abolishers.
