Hi,
I need some help with a way to use a motor for a MOC crane I’ve built. I want to add some more movement to my city, I already have trains going round the edge, the roller coaster, Ferris wheel, Vestas turbine and carousel, but I want some additional automation in my construction zone.
I cannot, for the life of me, think of a way to use a motor so that the load I attach on the end of the string will move up and down continuously. The string needs to be wound up, down etc etc. I cannot justify the cost of servo motors or going into the Evo side of programming, but I have an array of battery packs, medium motors and selection of gears etc. Happy to purchase specific pieces if someone can give me a clue how to do this.
I can modify the crane design easily enough, but would like all the gears and motor to be at the bottom which I can hide in another building. Then just have the string going up the centre of the crane, along the boom and then dropping down to hold its load.
Sorry if this is such a simple question, but I’ve been thinking for ages and can’t come up with a solution.
Thank you everyone!
