Arduino

Following the plan from week 10, this week is about having all the winch systems assembled and connected to Arduino. Before building, I bought another round of materials and now I have 2 Arduino Mega 2560, 1 Arduino Uno, 6 sets of winch systems, 6 sets of stepper motors, 6 sets of breadboards, and 3 Fresnel lenses.

Hence, I am planning to have 2 winch systems connected to one Arduino board with one Fresnel lens. In all, there are three sets of interactive systems working alone, each set connects to 3 fragments: a small, a mid, and a big fragment. For the interactivity, it will follow the sleep pattern and going up and down like the graph shows

The coding logic would be simple, the two motors on one interactive system follow the list of heights in the graph while each Arduino board reads the input from the Fresnel lens, controlling the speed of the motor rotation. The three interactions vary in starting time, but all follow the interaction pattern.
