Project: Automated K'nex Coaster
This is a discussion on Project: Automated K'nex Coaster within the K'Nex Contraptions: Gear Systems, Furniture, and Other forum, part of the K'Nex Models Discussion and Construction category; I love how things never work right when you are trying to show them off....

I think that's just a method of setting up your program. It's to help you remember and understand the program's overall functioning.
We should be doing stuff like that in PLC lessons caus the exercises are getting harder and mostly add something into a small program every step, which makes it not working after a while because you get lost in the whole compilation. In the end you are like: "it works, but don't ask me how".

I finally found some time, and here we are!
As promised in the vlog:  Entrance and exit of the loop have been swapped, drop is now straight.  Loop is fixed   A raised turn with a drop.  I really like this view. Comment and Enjoy!

Tut, tut, no replies, I'll keep updating though:
Yet another update, I hope to finish my track tomorrow or Sunday, then the updates will be more spread out. I will be ordering motors and the like and use my time to work out all the code and sensors. Seeing as I don't have much time, I'll try not to redo a lot of parts, especially the 0-G because I hate making them. (And this was only my first...) I made a 0-G kind of thing with the exit in an angle almost perpendicular to the lift. I also started the next part, which will most likely be a hill kind of thing with a helix then raising into the brakes.  I made the drop less steep, and the exit more smooth.   I think I did quite good for my first.  It was a horrible place to sit and build. Comment and enjoy!

Phase is done, the electronics not so much, they will be featured on Looping Star. I need to start working on the expo coaster ASAP.
Filmed with my new JVC camcorder in full HD There were some problems rendering the video. The sound and images turn normal after 15-20 seconds.

To bad you couldn't finish the electronics. Would've been cool if there just would be a little in it. (In the video I mean)
The coaster looks realy cool with those grey rod support beams. And it's more solid then most other coasters build in the same way. Good luck on the Loopin Star

I did, I should have enough Male Pin-headers for this. Just wires, wires wires and more wires. The boxes are getting a bit full, so It's getting hard to fit everything in.

It's currently installed on Looping Star and working. just some more tinkering with speeds and delays. Tomorrow we will install some brakes so the train slows down in a realistic way.
