You can get the full hardware and software technical details about the Sisbot on the Kickstarter page for Sisyphus where Bruce is offering these tables for sale (at a reasonably affordable price). Bruce calls the entire mechanism he’s designed the Sisbot. The controller is a Raspberry Pi 3, controlling a custom stepper motor controller which is driving 2 stepper motors. This time-lapse video gives you some sense of how it works and how captivating these tables are in action.Īnd here you can see what the mechanism under the table looks like. Many people, on first glance, mistake them for cymatics (using soundwaves to generate patterns in a medium), but these tables are powered by a computer-controlled magnet beneath the table that drives a steel ball around through the sand in pre-determined patterns.
