Variations Too -- The Program

I seem to have (finally) come to a rest in the development cycle of the Variations project so I thought I should post the actual Arduino code, for completeness sake....

VariationsToo.zip

You will also need all (or most of) my previously described libraries:

schipArduino.zip

I had to give up on the HCSR04 sonar distance detector because it was unreliable, noisy, and sensitive to vibrations when the arm servo motors were running. I replaced it with my old favorite, the GP2Y0A02YK (or equivalent) IR distance sensor that triggers out at about 2 meters. This only needs an ADC channel to interface, so it's a lot simpler anyway.

Variations Too will be in:

CURRENTS NEW MEDIA 2019

in Santa Fe, NM, from June 7 - 23. So come on by!

...You and I both have to wait until the piece is installed in the gallery before I can make a decent video because I have run out of room for clean backdrops in my home/studio...
