Description: Office Chairiot Mk II Official Website by Andy Frey at StuffAndyMakes.com
I'm an IKEA Po\u00E4ng chair that some jackwagon strapped two 500 WATT motors to. Oh, yeah, he also put a ridiculous control panel on me. Woot for me.
The Purpose: FUN! It's a silly thing , but it also has many components that are potential products, kits or educational pieces. I wish to share the work in this project to inspire, entertain and hopefully to help. The basic chair, motors and control system have the potential to be a very inexpensive alternative to expensive manufactured assistive devices. The electronics and mechanical components have many other uses and could have potential uses in robotics, hobby projects and even art and entertainment.
Above is the July 2015 update video for the Office Chairiot Mark II. Most of what's been happening over the past few months is software upgrades and circuit consolidation, leading up to putting the firmware and printed circuit boards up as Open Source. The big story for July, though, is the 3D-printed enclosure for the main board on the chassis. Find more at http://OfficeChairiot.com.
