Nice build Andy, looking forward to seeing a video of the complete watering system in action. :-)

Love the RC servo looking enclosure. I made a big servo to steer a power wheels jeep.

Now I want to make a box like that for mine.......

I'm off to California on Sunday so I don't think I'll get this completely finished. But I have added a couple of videos of progress.

Yes, go big or go home.

Beautiful!

Just a warning on the pot as position sensor: they don’t like outside/wet conditions. They tend to become unreliable.

Andy, I love your project. It is a great education on how the servo works as well as a very good solution with cheap and reliable components. I know how much cost similar commercial servos of that size...

Did you provide the servo working in a standard way so it is possible to use the already existing servo libraries for Arduino and the ton of servo applications?

BTW, you got a new dignified future to a lot of washing machines motorized timers [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-c23ea6b6-2687-4872-ab56-c6581b2c9948/5342.contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]

That is really cool!!

And agreed with John - part of the charm is how you made it look like an actual giant servo!

It was supposed to be "Movers and Shakers", not "Movers and Squirters"... [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-c23ea6b6-2687-4872-ab56-c6581b2c9948/contentimage_5F00_403.png:16:16]

( Although I guess that there still could be a whole lot of shaking going on ! [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-c23ea6b6-2687-4872-ab56-c6581b2c9948/contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16] )

This is a cool looking 'large format' servo. I too like how you mimicked the original form factor.

Awesome project. I like how you maintained the form factor.

Both the I2C version and a PWM version would make good products.

Hi Andy!

That's really cool : )

It could be part of a series, hoping to see a jumbo LED one day too : )

Hi Andy,

Really cool build. I like how you even went for the visual and made it look like a micro servo.
