Motion Review

     I needed to make some adjustments to the measurements of the supports and the center axle.  The axle needs to be notched so it can move the main body.  I'm thinking that it might be better to have the dowel be smaller than the support hole, then use a bearing with a notched inner and round outer to make smooth movement.

      Then i wanted to make sure the LED strips would fit on the main body, ADAfruit doesn't give exact dimensions but it does show the strip next to a quarter.  So i measured a quarter with my digital calipers and roughed out a size to put the LED strips on.

     Here's a rough redesigned idea with hopefully the notch visible.
