Is a machine that does what it is designed to do, with more or less efficiency, really useless?
Seems to me that many people seem to fail in realizing that the true purpose of the Shannon-Minsky device is not in that it turns itself off, but the state of mind it induces in an unwary operator.
IIRC these machines, when turned on, is supposed to make an ominous/angry sound, before even opening, to facilitate the psychological effect; the operator should be worried about what they have done.
We are selling this machine for $450 a piece. Our company has already made 70000 pieces ready for sale due to high demands. We take pride into making these machines!!! SPECIAL OFFER for june and july, buy 20 or more and shipping will be free worldwide. Our company also will throw in another 5 for free!!! GRAB OR REGRET!!!
@isaacinspace because making one ourself is much more fun. You also don't sell reverse gecache puzzles.. the fun of making it is to big, and it makes yours unique..
hey this looks great, and it's neat that it's purely an electrical/mechanical design w/o a microcontroller. i'm curious how you controlled the servo without a micro. did you need some sort of timing circuit for the PWM to the control input of the servo?
I read somewhere Shannon's box output a vibrating noise before the hand reaches out and turns off the switch thus giving some kind of psychological relief. Could you incorporate that into your design next time? I like to see such kind of machine (didnt see it in youtube yet)
@EthOrthx i think with a microcontroller you can easily attach a cellphone vibrating batterie to the circuit. In my case i don´t know how to force a delay between switching ON and the movement of the hand.. so i have no clue how to arrange this in my machine
@EthOrthx :D Thanks a lot! So since i gave it away as a xmas present, i´m buliding a new one right now with more detailed instructions if someone want to bulit it without microcontrollers!
Is it possible for you to make a more detailed guide on how you made yours. I haven't seen one that has been so simple. I would really like to learn more.
@JustDepends since it was a christmas gift for a good friend, i´d built a 2nd one. i ´ll try to document it and add it to my blog. come back in about 2 weeks :D
can i do this with a leg too?
