Linear Liquid

with Star Wu & Catherine Rong

Description

In this assignment, we used two linear actuators, an L298N motor driver board, and a Neopixel LED strip to explore the synchronization of kinetic movement and light. By programming the actuators to move in opposite directions and pairing them with coordinated LED animations, we aimed to mimic the visual and rhythmic qualities of flowing water. The project focused on timing and alignment between mechanical motion and light patterns to create a unified, wave-like effect. We like the machine aesthetic from the linear actuators:)
