![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A rotary encoder is linked to the shaft of the motor by way of printed GT2 pulleys and a short length of belt, which gives the system positional information and avoids the complexity of adding limit switches to the table itself.įor controlling the motor the user is given the option between using relays or an H-Bridge PWM driver board, but in either event an Arduino Nano will be running the show. The heart of the project is a 3D printable device which uses a low-RPM DC gear motor to turn the hex shaft where the crank would normally go. The project is still in active development and has a few kinks to work out, but it looks exceptionally promising if you’re looking to get a very capable adjustable desk without breaking the bank. Replacing the hand crank with a motorized system which can do the raising and lifting was only part of it, the project also includes a slick control panel with a digital display that shows the current table height and even allows the user to set and recall specific positions. All the health benefits of a standing desk, without that stinging sense of defeat when you later discover you hate it.īut who wants to turn a crank with their hand in 2019? Certainly not, who’s spent the last few months working in conjunction with to add some very impressive features to IKEA’s adjustable table. ![]() That’s where desks like the IKEA SKARSTA come in they use a crank on the front to raise and lower the desk to whatever height your rapidly aging corporeal form is still capable of maintaining. We’ve been told that standing at a desk is good for you, but unless you’re some kind of highly advanced automaton you’re going to have to sit down eventually no matter what all those lifestyle magazines say. ![]()
