So she decides she wants to make one (much smaller) as this year's gingerbread house for our Christmas party and asks if I can animate it.
With the EZB in my arsenal, no problem.
The following is a list of parts-n-pieces and a video showing some of the process, testing, and the finished project. The whole project took about 3 days to complete. I had about a half day in reinforcing and animating it for her, the rest was her assembling and decorating it.
Parts:
1 EZB board
1 Heavy Duty servo - Used to lift the house (gingerbread and icing is heavy)
1 Standard servo - Rotate cookie and switch lights on and off.
1 Reed Switch - Used with the servo to switch the lights on and off.
2 brass hinges
Thin Plywood to reinforce the gingerbread
