This is a pottery wheel that has a tangible wheel and “foot pedal” and is able to create the pottery in a digital way. The digital input of this project is a plastic clip, and the analog input is the ultrasonic sensor. I also use the DC motor to drive the wheel on the machine in order to imitate the function of the real pottery wheel. I came up with this idea because I am a lover of ceramics, and this device can be a more convenient and attractive way to let more people experience how amazing pottery making can be.
