Pneumatic Playground - Week #5

11/14/2016

 

Summary:

A couple of breakthroughs this week: The first breakthrough had to do with controlling the deflation rate, a problem that has persisted throughout the project. Our plan up to the weekend was to create different flow channels with incrementing openings, but with a piece of fabric and how much you compress that fabric in the 1" deflation chamber does the job as you can see in the video, where the inflation rate is the the same as the deflation rate.

To the left you can see the new setup, basically eliminating multiple breadboards and jumper wires that has been bugging us.

Also as you can see in the video below, Thierry programmed multiple buffers so that every segment of a recorded buffer will store separately (up to 30 buffers). This way dynamic buffers will inflate in separate balloons and deflate their associated recorded segments when activated. ​
