I had the idea for this project since 2015. I always thought this would be a really cute project. Imagine watching the mets game and the mets score a run. This would be such a cool little thing. I just never got arround to it until now. Anyway...
My plan is to create a motorized mets homerun apple with a 3D Printer, a stepper motor and a microcontroller, Either an arduino of some sort or a Raspberry Pi Pico W. I have most of the code complete so far. Next steps are as follows:
- Design the 3D Designs including the apple and the enlosure it will pop out of.
- Deisgn the circuitry
- Workout the mechanics
I first wrote the "psudo-code" in javascript and then ported it over to python.
