V. Electronics and Software - Pizza Cutter

Our device is powered by a 360 degree continuous servo motor which drives the main input shaft attached to the four-bar mechanisms. The motor is connected to a microcontroller and motor shield, which can be controlled using Arduino programming. The desired output of our device requires a continuous rotary input from the motor, which can be achieved with a simple code that starts running the motor at a specified speed for an interval of time. In our demonstration, we will operate the motor at 120 PWM for about 20 seconds.
