we've just built a prototype motor that we can use to trigger the motion of a plant. there's some refinement now required, and some customisation to allow its attachment to the plant, but it's a great step.
some technical wizadry above from jesse - i'm following along to the best of ability, learning about earthed cables, running voltage converters to change 240v down to 12v, using potentiometers to allow variations in the conditions etc etc ... some of it's sticking into my head ... some is still gobble-dee-gook ... but it's pretty awesome fun! those knobs at the bottom right, one adjusts the pause time between each pulse, the other adjusts the length of the pulse.
here's the coding we wrote - well, jesse dictated and explained each line to me, and i typed it into the software (arduino) -
and here's the very first Plant Motor we've just rigger together -
