The electronic components include a 360 degree servo and a DC motor to drive the mechanism. To power both actuators, we use used a motor driver to create variable speed and direction, using pulse width modulation (PWM) to control current into the electronics system. On top of that, we have a Arduino Uno controlling the output with some programming in Arduino IDE to adjust speed. Below is a picture of our electronic setup. Behind the top of our links we have a ziptied servo. There is no battery included in this depiction, but we did use one as our source of electricity.
