4.18 progress update
In playing with my new IR proximity sensor, I found that I will only be able to track motion in a straight line from the sensor, not in a larger area as I had originally anticipated. Therefore, I have decided to hang the digital venus flytraps from the a stairwell in alumni; this will ensure that people walk at the sensor in a straight line. I was able to write a script that utilizes proximity data from the IR sensor to control red, green and blue values in the RGB LED. This allows me to gesturally control color, just like the color sliders in photoshop by moving my hands. I ordered 9 more RGB LED's; I plan to have 9 total flytraps. I finally found a way onto the laser cutter schedule so I will need finalized my files this week.

So i was reading over your project statement and what you need for the light reaction is a photo resistor hooked up to a servo. I have photo resistors, I'm using one, but you can borrow one or two to play with the flowers. A far as the proximity sensor, that sounds sweet. I've played with the arduino code and have it hooked up to a potentiometer to get familiarized with the basics. I'm trying to do a closed loop system as well. Lets talk at studio. Coding is starting to get rough haha.
