Goals

• Create a basic wood structure to which the actuator can be attached
• Connect a linear actuator on the y-axis
• Attach a suitable massage object: a stainless steel ball
• Power it
• Test the movement on the back for comfort and effectiveness

Results

#1

· Attached a platform to place under the body for enhanced stability
· Structure was wobbly, so i strengthen it via brackets

#2

· Secured actuator and wooden frame with additional tape to reduce wobble
· Attached actuator to battery
· To control the actuator i have an up and down button

#3

· First test was a success; i now have hope that what i envison is within reach :)
The stainless steel ball surprisingly feels really good.
