# Paper Craft Zoetrope with Crickit

## Overview

A [zoetrope](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoetrope) is a device that makes a series of images to appear animated. It does this by taking advantage of a phenomenon called [Persistence of Vision](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persistence_of_vision) (POV).

When you look through the slits in the wall of a zoetrope, your visual system retains the image it's presented with for a fraction of a second after the next image has moved into view, so as it spins your brain merges the previous image with the next one, creating the appearance of fluid motion. This is same principle upon which [flip books, CRT televisions, and film movies work](https://nerdist.com/zoetropes-phenakistoscopes-flip-books-were-the-original-gifs/).

One magical aspect of zoetropes is how difficult it can be to capture the effect on camera. This is due to something called the rolling shutter effect ([this video by Destin Sandlin of Smarter Every Day](https://youtu.be/dNVtMmLlnoE) provides a great explanation of the phenomenon). Because of rolling shutter, the zoetrope is best experienced in real life, as the mystical, defiant object that it is.

# Paper Craft Zoetrope with Crickit

## Print & Prep

# Print the parts

Print out a copy of one of each of the PDFs below.

[adafruit_zoetrope_sheet.pdf](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/057/353/original/adafruit_zoetrope_sheet.pdf?1531164335)

[adafruit__zoetrope_wall.pdf](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/057/352/original/adafruit__zoetrope_wall.pdf?1531164329)
These are designed to be printed on 8.5" x 11" (letter) paper. 

Because these parts are all meant to fit together, it's important that they're printed at the correct scale. Be careful when sending them to the printer that they are all scaled correctly.

Warning: 

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/057/537/medium800/circuitpython_Screen_Shot_2018-07-06_at_4.42.08_PM_copy.png?1531347044)

Cut out the three zoetrope designs.

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/057/371/medium800thumb/circuitpython_01_cut_out_designs.jpg?1531165492)

The wall of the zoetrope will be formed from the two rectangular shapes.

Start by cutting out the "windows" with a blade.

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/057/372/medium800thumb/circuitpython_02_cut_out_windows.jpg?1531165501)

Warning: 

Cut around the outside edge using scissors. A knife is useful for cutting out the small details.

If you don't have an X-acto knife, the 3D printed handle used here can be found on [Thingiverse](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:17551) and pairs well with standard utility knife blades to make an excellent hobby knife.

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/057/373/medium800thumb/circuitpython_03_cut_out_wall.jpg?1531165510)

The circular part will become the base for the zoetrope.

Cut around its outline, then use a knife to slice along the inner dashed lines. 

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/057/374/medium800thumb/circuitpython_04_cut_out_base.jpg?1531165519)

The oval in the center will fit snugly on the DC motor mount.

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/057/375/medium800thumb/circuitpython_05_cut_out_slits.jpg?1531165527)

It's a good idea at this point to reinforce the mounting hole for the motor.

 

Do this by placing a piece of tape over the top and bottom of the hole before cutting it out.

 

This will help the zoetrope spin for a long time without wearing out.

# Paper Craft Zoetrope with Crickit

## Zoetrope Assembly

Once you've printed and cut the parts for the Zoetrope, it's time to put it all together.

# Making Donuts

 

These strips of paper will be made into animation loops, which will sit inside our zoetrope.

 

Start by taping the tab marked "A" to the end of the strip marked "A".

 

Complete the loop by taping the "B" tab to the end of the strip marked "B".

![circuitpython_IMG_4358.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/057/180/medium640/circuitpython_IMG_4358.jpg?1530828705)

# The Wall

Find the two pieces that will form the wall of the zoetrope.

 

Attach the two straight ends with tape. 

 

For best results, make sure to add tape on **both** sides of the seam.

 

The two tabs at one end will fit into the slits cut in the other end.

 

Carefully notch these tabs into place one at a time.

![circuitpython_IMG_0172.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/057/338/medium640/circuitpython_IMG_0172.jpg?1531156123)

# Bring it all together

Align the tabs along the bottom of the wall with the slits in the zoetrope base.

 

Gently poke these through the base, tugging them into place one by one.

 

The fit should be snug enough that no tape or glue will be needed to hold them together (you can add either if you want to make the bond more permanent).

![circuitpython_IMG_0195.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/057/541/medium640/circuitpython_IMG_0195.jpg?1531347508)

Now you can take your animation strip and drop it into the center of your zoetrope!

# Paper Craft Zoetrope with Crickit

## Connect to CRICKIT

At this point you should be ready to add some electronics to the mix. 

The first, only, and most essential step is to connect the motor to the screw terminals on the CRICKIT board.

# Motor holder (optional)

Holding the motor in your hand can quickly become tiresome, so optionally, you can create a small cardboard mount to hold the motor for you.

The PDF below contains the 2D geometry of the [TT motor](https://www.adafruit.com/product/3777) used in this project. Print it out and use it to mark the placement of the motor hub and mounting holes on a piece of cardboard.

[TT_motor_outline.pdf](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/057/469/original/TT_motor_outline.pdf?1531261500)
# Make the holes

Find a small piece of scrap cardboard, about 2" x 8" (a piece of a shipping box - like the ones from Adafruit - works great).

 

Print the motor outline at 100% scale on a normal 8.5"x11" piece of paper. Cut a rectangle around the TT motor outline.

 

Use a pen or skewer to mark the locations of the holes on a piece of cardboard. 

 

After marking their locations, widen these holes using a pen or pencil tip.

 

You are now ready to mount the motor!

# Mount the motor

Push motor into cardboard.

 

Mount motor to the cardboard using 1" long screws (double sided tape will also work).

 

Fold sides of cardboard over.

 

Hold these flaps in place with a strip of tape.

 

Now you have a handy stand for your zoetrope!

# Add a washer

A washer is useful to decrease friction between the base of your zoetrope and the motor housing.

 

If you don't have a metal washer handy, a cardboard one will do just as well.

 

Cut out a circle of cardboard and use a hole punch to make a hole in the center.

 

Drop your washer over the motor shaft.

![circuitpython_IMG_5106.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/057/523/medium640/circuitpython_IMG_5106.jpg?1531340312)

# Paper Craft Zoetrope with Crickit

## Coding with CircuitPython

# Getting Familiar

This project uses CircuitPython, which works best if using the Mu Editor. If you haven't previously used Mu, [this guide will get you started](https://learn.adafruit.com/welcome-to-circuitpython/installing-mu-editor).

If you haven't used Circuit Playground Express with CRICKIT before, make sure you've updated it with the latest special 'seesaw' version of the CPX firmware. [This guide will show you how](https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-crickit-creative-robotic-interactive-construction-kit/circuitpython-code).

Once you have completed this step you're ready to move on.

# Let's upload some code! 

The sample code for this project is taken from the [Make it Move with CRICKIT master guide](https://learn.adafruit.com/make-it-move-with-crickit/use-a-continuous-dc-motor-now), which demonstrates all the ways that CRICKIT can be used.

This guide is an excellent resource for exploring CRICKIT further. Prefer to use a continuous rotation servo instead of a DC motor? No problem, the [Make it Move with CRICKIT guide](https://learn.adafruit.com/make-it-move-with-crickit/use-a-continuous-servo-now) can show you how. 

# Sample Code
Make sure you've connected the Circuit Playground Express to your computer and have Mu open.

Copy and paste this code into your Mu editor window.

```
    from digitalio import DigitalInOut, Pull, Direction
from adafruit_crickit import crickit
import board
 
# Two onboard CPX buttons for input (low level saves memory)
button_a = DigitalInOut(board.BUTTON_A)
button_a.direction = Direction.INPUT
button_a.pull = Pull.DOWN

button_b = DigitalInOut(board.BUTTON_B)
button_b.direction = Direction.INPUT
button_b.pull = Pull.DOWN 

# Create one motor on seesaw motor port #1
motor = crickit.dc_motor_1

while True:
    if button_a.value:
        print("Button A pressed, go!")
        motor.throttle = 1.0  # full speed!

    if button_b.value:
        print("Button B pressed, stop!")
        motor.throttle = 0    # stop!
  
```

This snippet of code gives Circuit Playground Express two simple instructions:

1. Press the A button to turn motor ON
2. Press B button to turn motor OFF

Once this code is copied into Mu, press the **Save** button - your code should be saved to the  **CIRCUITPY**  disk drive (which appears when the Circuit Playground Express is plugged into your computer) as `code.py`.

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/061/029/medium800/circuitpython_Screen_Shot_2018-09-06_at_9.47.58_AM_copy.png?1536241945)

Info: 

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/057/530/medium800/circuitpython_code_on_circuitpy.png?1531341714)

# Making Changes

You will likely notice that by default this sample code spins your motor _very fast_. Almost too fast to see the animation clearly.

Adabot's sautering stride becomes much more visible at a **slower** rotational speed. We can adjust this by changing the `motor.throttle` value in the code from `= 1.0` (full speed) to something like `0.5` (half speed), then clicking "Save" again.

You may have to adjust it several times down, up, and down. This is where Mu makes it super easy to "dial-in" on the perfect value for the speed. 

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/057/506/medium800thumb/circuitpython_2018-07-11_15_35_00.jpg?1531337996)

# Experiment!

Have fun making changes to the code and observing what effect it has. For example, you aren't stuck to only using positive numbers. A negative `motor.throttle` value will make Adabot moonwalk backwards rather than walking forwards!

Info: 

Try dropping in each of the strips and watching them animate. If can be fun to adjust the `motor.throttle` for each to find the optimal viewing speed for each.

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/057/528/medium800thumb/circuitpython_2018-07-11_16_32_23.jpg?1531341164)

# Paper Craft Zoetrope with Crickit

## Custom Animations

Different animations like the one of a flying pigeon below can be fun to play with. 

[Zoetrope_pigeon.pdf](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/057/603/original/Zoetrope_pigeon.pdf?1531522287)
If you find yourself becoming bored by the three animation strips provided in this guide, it might be time to make some of your own!

To do this, cut out two strips of paper, approximately the same length and width as the ones used in the other animations. Tape these two strips together so you have one long strip.

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/057/513/medium800/circuitpython_IMG_5015.jpg?1531339914)

For the best results, give yourself enough space to draw between 10-12 different images, with about equal distance between them.

It can be helpful in this case to make small markings at equal distances along the strip to help space out your drawings evenly. 

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/057/533/medium800/circuitpython_IMG_5022.jpg?1531345960)

This is an example of a simple running animation (ref: [Netta Canfi's excellent resource for aspiring animators](https://www.the-flying-animator.com/run-cycle.html)).
