Pendelseilbahn

Fully functional model cabin ropeway designed with Sketchup and printed with CTC printer. The cabins are rolling up and down on two ropes each. The moving rope is driven by a geared 12V DC motor and controlled by an Arduino Mega with Mosfet/PWM. The Cabins begin driving slowly, accelerate and drive constantly until reaching the station, where they slowly move in and finally stop. The movement is controlled by ultrasound sensors connected to the Arduino measuring the distance between the cabin and the station thus adapting the motorspeed.
Please download the sketchup file which contains all parts and extract them yourself.
Have fun constructing it!
