individual project. progress update


Now that I have proven to myself that I can control Arduino, I need to find an application for it.  While originally I was looking to create a digital flower that responds to light, I want to find something that is less predictable and responsive to more criteria.  The script above allows a servo motor to respond to the fluctuating light levels in a room, but I want to branch out and try out some sensors that respond to proximity, touch, noise and temperature. In class we discussed the possibilities of interacting with something digital, and I now want to create something that unless uninterrupted, will do its own thing- as if it weren't simply created to cater to the user.

Here are some great examples of work with Arduino and proximity sensors:
