Living Architecture Spring 2008 Pratt

arduino.prototype_004_a = flexinol wire + 1 relay

our first prototype utilizing a relay to provide more power to flexinol wire, this first prototype uses only one relay to test out the circuit to make sure its working.

















arduino.prototype_004_b = 3 flexinol wires + 3 relay + 3 input
after successfully getting the relay to work, we have now added two more relay to drive two more flexinol wires. as of right now, all three flexinol wires have seperate input, later prototypes will incorporate these into one single input

int ledPin2 = 2;
int ledPin4 = 4;
int ledPin6 = 6;

void setup()
{pinMode(ledPin2, OUTPUT);
pinMode(ledPin4, OUTPUT);
pinMode(ledPin6, OUTPUT);}

void loop()
{
digitalWrite(ledPin2, HIGH);
digitalWrite(ledPin4, LOW);
digitalWrite(ledPin6, HIGH);
delay(3000);
digitalWrite(ledPin2, LOW);
digitalWrite(ledPin4, HIGH);
digitalWrite(ledPin6, LOW);
delay(3000); }


note: video and a clearer circuit diagram to come, and it for the next series of prototypes we intend to combine these multiple inputs into one single input, possibily testing with a simple switch, then moving of to different types of inputs
