How to control baby swing? I am starting an intresting DIY project of baby swing. My son is 3 month old and we have swing made with ropes in our house where he sleeps. I am looking for any electronic component controlled with arduino to swing it in controlled manner. I thought of servo motor but not sure how will it work. Any suggestions please ?
swing is similer to below
A simple DC motor would work. you have to pulse it in the right moment. for finding out the right moment and the pulse length (you don't want to push it so hard !) you need a simple accelerometer sensor to measure acceleration in specific axis.
