Final Year Studio - Development - Multiple Stepper Control

While both the on screen part of my project and installation space is all setup I have simply ran out of time on the development for my analogue display board. Above shows each stepper motor animating, one after another and moving to a random position as each Datamotive starts to arrive. Controlled by my time function in the Processing code, the whole screen starts to animate when its arrival time falls to 60 seconds or under. Controlled by a total of 6 breadboards, 2 Arduino boards and 48 relay switches I managed to wire up all the motors that would be used to show the text of the domain address.

Each stepper motor is controlled by a group of Arduino output pins and 4 general relay switches that fire each stepper motor's 4 individual relay switches and each motor simply requires the turn on and off of their ground to animate. In theory the next step would be to build in some kind of reset mechanism so that the stepper motor can keep track of its own angle. This could then be used in conjunction with knowing the step count of each character to show specific letters and numbers. Also the stepper motors that control the arrival time would have to be wired up to a separate breadboard and programmed with a slightly slower delay for a slower more accurate animation that would countdown properly.
