Week #1: Quick Summary
Simple switch and potentiometer for controlling the valves.
|
For the first week of pneumatic playground, me and Thierry hooked up a separate balloon, with discrete inflation and deflation. After powering up the pneumatics, we made a couple of circuits to be able to control pulsating the on/off inflation switch. The following week, we'll be actually embedding a series of these valves to a surface so we can play with deformations caused by the balloons on the surface of tensile structures. First a simple switch and then a potential meter. You can view the experiment below:
