Connections





I modifed the circular switch, and added another tilt switch to the device arm. I discovered some interested movement between both devices using the two different switches i came up with. Because each switch controls a motor on the opposite device, sometimes there are moments that the range of movement will create 'dead spots in the switches: when the connecting cylinder or object is in between connecting nodes. At moments the devices create an interesting random motion, independent from the circuit boards and outside stimulus, this is beginning to continue for more extended periods of time. I think i will have less dead spots in movement when i add a third mechanism, the cable tow, allowing indirect stimulus between devices.
