Use controlled motor sounds as a small kinetic instrument.

CAIBI’s proposed addition: Find the original code, limit driver current and guard moving parts.

Start with the original

Found in the supplied source. Original files, compatibility and completeness still need checking.

Plan the next step

I want to develop this idea: Musical stepper sculpture. Intended outcome: Use controlled motor sounds as a small kinetic instrument. The source is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RcEx5rpNrY. CAIBI suggests: Find the original code, limit driver current and guard moving parts. First inspect the source I supply. Separate what it already does from proposed additions. Ask for my actual board, parts, skill level and missing files. Produce a small staged plan with one bench test per stage. Do not invent pin assignments, dimensions or completed test results.

Design a measured enclosure

Help me design a practical enclosure for Musical stepper sculpture. First ask for measured component dimensions, mounting holes, connectors, cable clearance, ventilation and operating conditions. Suggest a printable or off-the-shelf approach. Begin with a fit-test piece before a complete case. Label assumptions and do not invent an enclosure rating.

Check and document the result

Create a test log for Musical stepper sculpture. Intended outcome: Use controlled motor sounds as a small kinetic instrument. Separate expected behaviour from observed results. Include power restart, disconnected inputs, communication failure and the actual physical use. Ask me to provide results, firmware versions, changes, photos and unresolved problems. Never mark a test passed without my evidence.
