More Microanimation...

[pray59]

As some of you know, our ZBT club members are all from the high tech industry, and there is a little friendly competetion going on as to what can be animated.

Last weekend Kim Vellore came over to hand lay some rail on his Micro Challenge module, (we usually have Sunday Building sessions) and showed us his garage project. He programmed a pic, to control 3 micro servos. It's a house that has an attached garage. The Garage door slowly opens, headlights turn on, a car backs out, then another car backs out, then the door closes. A really cool effect in Z Scale.

About a month ago, Michael Tuason sent a video of his Z Scale tracktor trailer rig running around his module, following an embedded wire in the layout board under the roadway. Really cool.

This morning he sent a video of his latest microanimation project, a Z Scale person with a waving arm!

Here is a video of it:
