Smomid Robotic Instrument/Computer Stand

Published on Jul 11, 2014 nicnut210

"To make my performances easier I decided to build a light weight instrument stand. In this first version I added a robotic arm with lights and beepers. This stand comes apart and easily fits in the backseat of my car, is much lighter in weight than a normal keyboard stand, and has more surface area. There are also four high torque servos for the robotic arm. I can place my computer and interface on the lower level and my Pyramid Interface on the upper level.

In future versions I will have a midi input so the lights will be synched with what my instruments are doing, and will also have servos so that the stand itself can fold up into a smaller unit without me manually folding it up. As it is right now, other than transporting this additional item, this stand has made performing with my Smomid so much easier.

The stand has an Arduino Mega in it as well as a Servocenter 4.1 Microcontroller from YEI Technology.
