[IPT] Traveler's movement
Since we have considered several elements in the story such as traveler, sun, wind, trees and mountain, we needed to decide how could implement each elements.

In the case of traveler, we tried many ways.



The idea of the first design was come from mechanical movement using motor. Jaewook's entry about this.


However, we didn't have any experience in mechanics, so we used servo motor we were familiar with. Positions of traveler was easily adjusted by using servo motor with PWM (Pulse Width Modulation). For example, we put "Max Pulse" to set the motor position value to the maximum.



We tested several movements of the traveler such as "Appearance", "Walking", "Walking in Wind", "Swaying in strong Wind" and "Disappearance." We could also apply this technique to move the Sun and the Wind.


Here is a video of prototype of traveler using servo motor. A traveler begins at the initial position, underground, and then starts walking. After a while, he is shivering in the wind.



Here is the test code of servo motor for traveler's movement.




Because traveler has four status, walking, shivering, heating and resting, we use four servo motors to control them. You can see them right bottom corner of the image below.
