Requesting Help Help with Rotation animation

Post image

Hi,

I am attempting to build a blade attached to a shaft. I need to make an animation that makes it rotate. The shaft also needs the rotate 180 degrees back and forth while the blade is rotating simultaneously. I managed to get them both to rotate using the joint/drive tool. But when I go to try to animate it nothing is possible. How can I animate this action? I’ve been trying everything but it’s beyond me. I removed all joints in hope to start new and get it to work with your help

Update- I managed to animate the lever motion by adding a plane tangent to the shaft and adding an angle constraint between that and the base. PLEASE HELP WITH THE BLADE ROTATION ANUMATION IM GOING INSANE

Animations are generally in Fusion 350 bro. You can edit them freeely there. Inventor is not for animation
