Aaron's Halloween Prop Dropper (PIC16F684 version)

[RStephenLegge]

Very Nice, Aaron. How do you get it to drop so fast, yet wind back up slowly.

[SamuelAaronWard]

Steve, because of the mechanical construction (which I can show you sometime), the DROP function simply spills the spool of string all at once (fast). The wind function goes much slower because the servo must wind it back up (rather than dumping the entire spool at once).
