Remotely Controlled Automated Horse Jump (original) (raw)

Remotely Controlled Automated Horse Jump ()

Abstract

With the application of automation, a horse jump can be controlled with the push of a button, or even a remote control. This enables the rider to adjust the jump to suit their needs while still on their horse. The objective of this work is to design and build a wireless remote motor controller which will be applied to a prototype horse jump. The user will be able to control the forward and reverse direction of the motor by pushing a button or switch via RF remote control. A horse jump prototype consisting of a single jump stand will be constructed.
