magnetic sculpture

This is an amazing creation, which utilizes electronic controls, material science to demonstrate some evolutions in nature.



How it works:

New project, not new team

The final team set up looks surprising: 5 of us worked together on the hexagonal fabric cell, plus Johanna. It was a really good time of cooperation so that everybody wants to work together again.

The chemistry within our team inspires crazy ideas and at the same time a easy-going communication.

This time, we shoot the problem facing the world, such as health facility, energy crisis, water shortage and ecological concerns. Also, we plan to activate all more of the 5 senses of audience.

One cool thing that is not shown here is, when we took the photo with flash light, all the three fingers are full open at that flash!

Let's hack it layer by layer:

heliostropic organic: pic and code

This is the heliotropic organic (without fabric), all circuits are masked inside

The coding is shared here and explained by previous blogs:

#include // include the servo library

Servo servoMotor0; // creates an instance of the servo object to control a servo

Servo servoMotor1;

Servo servoMotor2;

int analogPin0 = 0; // the analog pin that the sensor is on

int analogPin1 = 1;

int analogPin2 = 2;

int analogValue0 = 0; // the value returned from the analog sensor

int analogValue1 = 0;

int analogValue2 = 0;

int servoPin0 = 2; // Control pin for servo motor, may only be pin 9 or 10

int servoPin1= 3;

int servoPin2 = 4;

void setup() {

servoMotor0.attach(servoPin0); // attaches the servo on pin 2 to the servo object

servoMotor1.attach(servoPin1);

servoMotor2.attach(servoPin2);

}

void loop()

{

analogValue0 = analogRead(analogPin0); // read the analog input (value between 0 and 1023)

analogValue1 = analogRead(analogPin1);

analogValue2 = analogRead(analogPin2);

analogValue0 = map(analogValue0,50, 1023, 0, 360); // map the analog value (0 - 1023) to the angle of the servo (0 - 179)

analogValue1 = map(analogValue1, 50, 1023, 0, 360);

analogValue2 = map(analogValue2, 50, 1023, 0, 360);

servoMotor0.write(analogValue0); // write the new mapped analog value to set the position of the servo

servoMotor1.write(analogValue1);

servoMotor2.write(analogValue2);

delay(500); // waits for the servo to get there

}
