They had some beautifully crafted versions of their kits.<\/p>\n<p>While I was working on this project I started posting work in progress videos of the progress and one of those became very popular.

This was followed by very flattering posts on other websites and Instagram accounts including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/art\/drill-operated-animation-federico-tobon-flip-book-08-07-2017\/\">DesignBoom<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/boingboing.net\/2017\/08\/09\/flip-animation-on-a-power-dril.html\">BoingBoing<\/a>,<a href=\"https:\/\/laughingsquid.com\/flip-board-animation-powered-by-cordless-drill\/\"> Laughing Squid<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/hackaday.com\/2017\/08\/15\/use-a-drill-to-power-your-flipbooks\/\">Hackaday<\/a>. There was even a short TV spot <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rightthisminute.com\/video\/rtmtv-creative-artist-attaches-flip-book-drill\">on an ABC show<\/a>. I&#8217;m grateful for the attention and the influx of followers, and I received only nice and encouraging comments.<\/p>\n<p>On this post, I will show you the process and I will include some files and resources but I don&#8217;t intend it to be a how-to article. That said if you are working on a similar project feel free to <a href=\"https:\/\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/index.php\/contact\/\">get in touch<\/a> if you have any questions or need additional help. If you want to do something similar but want to avoid the trouble of making everything yourself I&#8217;d highly recommend one of <a href=\"https:\/\/flipbookit.com\/\">these kits<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Animation:<\/h2>\n<p>My first step was to draw a 24 frame animation. I cut tracing paper in 24 rectangles that were double the size of the final project. The final dimensions are 4&#8243; x 3.34&#8243; so my animation sketch was done on 8&#8243; x 6.64&#8243; rectangles. I wanted something simple so I drew the outline for a single swimming creature (later dubbed a happily swimming squid). After doing it in pencil, I went over it with a black brush-pen. In retrospective, I wish I had used nicer paper because I had a lot of bleedthrough. This was the result:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/otherfiles\/flipbook-sketch.gif?resize=480%2C480&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"animation sketch\" width=\"480\" height=\"480\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After scanning all the frames and naming them in a sequential order I used the <a href=\"http:\/\/maker.flipbookit.com\/uploader.php\">maker tool on the flipbookit\u00a0website<\/a> to convert them into printable split frames. I did minimal editing on the images because I thought the wrinkled texture of the paper gave the animation some character.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1334\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1334\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/flipbook-frams.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1334 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/flipbook-frams.jpg?resize=800%2C400\" alt=\"Frames\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/flipbook-frams.jpg?w=800 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/flipbook-frams.jpg?resize=350%2C175 350w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/flipbook-frams.jpg?resize=220%2C110 220w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1334\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Individual frames after printing the flipbook maker tool PDF<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In the following time lapse, you can see the frame assembly. The base for each half-frame is a piece of cardstock (dimensions are 4&#8243; x 1.65&#8243;) with a length\u00a0of 1mm stiff wire taped to it. Then the printed frames are glued this stiff backing. I source my wire from the bead of bicycle tires but almost any wire would do here.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BW3JIG0Awi8\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"13\" style=\" background:#FFF;

It&#8217;s a simple 1.25&#8243; circle with 24 holes evenly spaced around the edge and a hole sized for a 5\/16&#8243; axle. For the axle, I used an inexpensive hardwood dowel from the hardware store. The holes around the perimeter could be smaller but this was the smallest bit I had around.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1336\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1336\" style=\"width: 478px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/flipBox-wheel-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1336 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/flipBox-wheel-1.jpg?resize=478%2C324\" alt=\"\" width=\"478\" height=\"324\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/flipBox-wheel-1.jpg?w=478 478w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/flipBox-wheel-1.jpg?resize=350%2C237 350w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/flipBox-wheel-1.jpg?resize=220%2C149 220w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 478px) 100vw, 478px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1336\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Frame holder wheel dimensions<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>At this point, I assembled it and had to test it with the drill.

I wanted to make a box for it so I prototyped one out of foam core around the existing parts. Working with foam core is convenient because it&#8217;s easy to cut, inexpensive, and a good surrogate material for 1\/4&#8243; plywood. When possible I will make models by hand before jumping on the computer to get the dimensions as close as possible before committing to a design.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1337\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1337\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/flipbox-foamcore-prototype.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1337 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/flipbox-foamcore-prototype.jpg?resize=800%2C800\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/flipbox-foamcore-prototype.jpg?w=800 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/flipbox-foamcore-prototype.jpg?resize=100%2C100 100w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/flipbox-foamcore-prototype.jpg?resize=300%2C300 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/flipbox-foamcore-prototype.jpg?resize=220%2C220 220w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/flipbox-foamcore-prototype.jpg?resize=50%2C50 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1337\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Foam core prototype with hand crank<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>These are the dimensions I decided on: a 5.5&#8243; x 5.5&#8243; x 3.5&#8243; box with added tabs for easy assembly:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/flipBox-box.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1342\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/flipBox-box.jpg?resize=664%2C446\" alt=\"\" width=\"664\" height=\"446\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/flipBox-box.jpg?w=664 664w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/flipBox-box.jpg?resize=350%2C235 350w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/flipBox-box.jpg?resize=220%2C148 220w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 664px) 100vw, 664px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>After cutting and re-assembling the box I moved on to adding a motor.

It&#8217;s funny that I can write this in a few minutes but it actually took me about two days to accomplish.<\/p>\n<p>The individual parts of the project are well documented elsewhere and you can replicate them with a variety of components, here is a summary and links, you can also find\u00a0these in the comments of my <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/wolfcatworkshop\/flipbox-animation\/blob\/master\/code\/arduino-Sketch.ino\">Arduino sketch<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The speed of each motor is controlled via Pulse Width Modulation, because the microcontroller has a current and voltage limit, the switching is done by a transistor (see the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arduino.cc\/en\/Tutorial\/TransistorMotorControl\">Transistor Motor Control example<\/a> on the Arduino website).<\/li>\n<li>A small potentiometer serves as\u00a0a physical interface to adjust the speed of each motor (see the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arduino.cc\/en\/tutorial\/potentiometer\">Reading a potentiometer<\/a> example).<\/li>\n<li>There is a single button to start the operation and start the timer, so every time you press the button the animation plays for 1 minute and then stops (see\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.arduino.cc\/en\/Tutorial\/Button\">Button Tutorial<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arduino.cc\/en\/Tutorial\/Debounce\">Debounce Tutorial<\/a>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The specifics of my final circuit are as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Attiny85 chip running with internal 1 MHZ clock<\/li>\n<li>Powered by a 12v, 300 mA wall wart<\/li>\n<li>Power is regulated by an L7805 voltage regulator with two electrolytic capacitors\n<ul>\n<li>10 uF on the input<\/li>\n<li>47 uF on the output<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Each motor control switches 12 v using:\n<ul>\n<li>TIP112 transistor<\/li>\n<li>1N4001 Diode<\/li>\n<li>270 Ohm resistor<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Trimpots are 10 K ohm outside legs connected to 5v and Ground, middle leg to pins A1 and A2 respectively<\/li>\n<li>Switch uses a pull-down 10 k resistor connected to ground and the other leg to 5v<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is what it looks like soldered on perforated board:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/flipbook-circuit.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1346\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/flipbook-circuit.jpg?resize=800%2C800\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/flipbook-circuit.jpg?w=800 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/flipbook-circuit.jpg?resize=100%2C100 100w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/flipbook-circuit.jpg?resize=300%2C300 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/flipbook-circuit.jpg?resize=220%2C220 220w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/flipbook-circuit.jpg?resize=50%2C50 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll mention a couple of things that make this setup work: I recommend that you read SparkFun&#8217;s<a href=\"https:\/\/learn.sparkfun.com\/tutorials\/tiny-avr-programmer-hookup-guide\/attiny85-use-hints\"> tiny AVR guide<\/a>, here I learned that you need to reference the analog pins in the code as A1, A2, and A3 respectively. Also, there is a way to <a href=\"http:\/\/forum.arduino.cc\/index.php?topic=174349.0\">change the PWM frequency<\/a> that is helpful because sometimes DC motors will buzz at low speeds, but this affects the millis() and delay() functions so you need to compensate for that if the timing is important in your project, <a href=\"https:\/\/playground.arduino.cc\/Main\/TimerPWMCheatsheet\">this table<\/a> explains it.<\/p>\n<p>In order to house the electronics, power switch and button, I added an additional 1&#8243; level to the box. Perhaps if I were to do it again I would build it in from the beginning. I also wanted the pushbutton to have a warm character and a nice texture so I made it out of wood:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1347\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1347\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/flipbook-button.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1347\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/flipbook-button.jpg?resize=800%2C784\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"784\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/flipbook-button.jpg?w=800 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/flipbook-button.jpg?resize=306%2C300 306w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/flipbook-button.jpg?resize=220%2C216 220w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wolfcatworkshop.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/flipbook-button.jpg?resize=50%2C50 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1347\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Handmade pushbutton<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The button is made out of a small dowel going through a block of plywood, it has a small piece of plywood acting as a stopper and a spring to provide the return action.
