Capacity Sensor (edited for tarah's project)

#include <CapSense.h> /* * CapitiveSense Library Demo Sketch * Paul Badger 2008 * Uses a high value resistor e.g. 10M between send pin and receive pin * Resistor effects sensitivity, experiment with values, 50K - 50M. Larger resistor values yield larger sensor values. * Receive pin is the sensor pin - try different amounts of foil/metal on this pin * Best results are obtained if sensor...

London based artist Conrad Shawcross creates these fantastic kinetic sculptures that draw inspiration from philosophy and scientific theories. Shown above is ‘Loop System Quintet‘ (2005): “Each of the five oak machines in Loop System Quintet - connected by a single drive-shaft - draws a different ‘knot’ of light in space, predetermined by the ratio of the cogs that drive it. These ratios are...

/* Analog Input Demonstrates analog input by reading an analog sensor on analog pin 0 and turning on and off a light emitting diode(LED) connected to digital pin 13. The amount of time the LED will be on and off depends on the value obtained by analogRead(). The circuit: * Potentiometer attached to analog input 0 * center pin of the potentiometer to the analog pin * one side pin (either...
